Contrasting colours collection
We have designed 6 different pieces for The Contrasting Colour Collection, this takes form in 2 ranges: The Pleat Range and The Ribbed Range. These include table lamps, ceiling lights, floor lamps and wall lights. The collection encompasses classic style with a modern twist, with beautiful warm colours, interesting shapes and textural elements. Contrasting colours are of the essence of these lights, with the pairing of moss green with pale blue and burnt orange with pale pink. The colour palettes, chosen by Emma, are striking on their own but warm enough to fit in with existing interior schemes. Both ranges stand out with their interesting material choices; by using steel and glass for the light shades, the designers have taken something that may have once felt quaint and old fashioned and given a sleek new twist.
The Pleat Range
The lamp shades in this range are made from painted steel and the exteriors are finished in either a burnt orange or moss green. The interiors have been painted in their corresponding contrasting shades, which gives a warming glow and is a subtle way to introduce more colour into a space.
The table lamp and floor lamp both have an adjustable tilting shade, so the light can be angled to your preferred direction.
