Industrial lamp holders - These modern black plastic lamp holders pay homage to the traditional black Bakelite lamp holders from Coolicon’s industrial past.
Porcelain lamp holders - Our white porcelain fittings are modern, clean and simple; produced for the Standard Collection they pair elegantly with all of our shades.
Cable Type: With a natural sheen, our finely overbraided black fabric cable ensures your lampshade hangs with that extra touch of detail and class.

Cleaning your Vitreous Enamel lampshade
Due to the glasslike Vitreous Enamel finish, the lampshade can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth.
For stubborn marks, a high-quality window/glass cleaner can be applied to the cloth then passed over the lampshade. Care should always be taken to avoid contact with the Coolicon badge.
Heritage British lighting with steam resistance and durability; perfect for the modern kitchen
Well-suited for kitchens, hanging rows of Original 1933™ Design lampshades over busy areas like counters and sinks can provide focused spotlights with a traditional industrial feel. Try mixing Original Green with our Underground Collection’s District Line Green for a stunning conversation piece over a breakfast bar.
Remaining true to the 1930’s Standard Coolicon, the classic form and vented gallery provide bi-directional light; soft ambient light above, focused task light below. With the light bulb exposed by the gallery vents, these heritage lampshades look brilliant in any interior even when switched off.

"Great in sunlight, never to fade"
The finishing touch: after a shade passes inspection the gold Coolicon badge is hand applied. A true statement to the shade’s quality, the badge is the maker’s seal of approval.
The acute curvature of the Original 1933 Design™ lampshade creates wrinkles in the paper.
The ultra-tough Vitreous Enamel finish protects the shade, it also provides the shade with its UV resistance.
While paint and powder-coated finishes can fade under direct sunlight we guarantee the colour of a Coolicon lampshade will never fade or dull – even in the sunniest south-facing kitchens and conservatories.
"Interior lighting that's great in the sunlight, never to fade"
The Original Green lampshade reimagined for today, from the golden days of motorsport
Originally designed to light the factories of 1930s Britain our expansive colour palette brings the Original 1933 Design™ lampshade into the 21st century. Instantly recognisable as the colour of the golden days of British motorsport, Original Green is a fitting tribute to the halcyon days of Jaguar and Lotus. Dark emeralds and ivy meld with deep forest greens, the result is a statement shade which feels familiar and welcoming.
A true classic reimagined for todays’ homes, Original Green pairs beautifully with our Original Grey.
