Socrates
“In order that the mind should see light instead of darkness, so the entire soul must be turned away from this changing world, until its eye can learn to contemplate reality and that supreme splendour which we have called the good. Hence there may well be an art whose aim would be to effect this very thing .”
Lighting changes everything
How to order a shade
Pick a shape you like or choose from the options on this site. Decide on the type of fabric you prefer and if you want soft light, reading light, or ambient light. You can select your own fabric, or I can recommend options based on your preferences and the lamp's location.

Each lampshade takes about four weeks to make since I do not keep all frames in stock. Typically, we make one of each shade unless a customer requests two of the same.
