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.
Uplift your home office with an exciting pop of colour from our contemporary Coolicon shade
The Standard Coolicon’s revolutionary design sought to illuminate the myriad of tasks being undertaken throughout the UKs pre-war industrial landscape. It did so while making the environment more comfortable for workers with the addition of an open gallery, dissipating heat from the high-watt bulbs. Fast forward to today and the inspired Coolicon vented design allows for both downward task lighting and pleasing ambient up lighting, ideal for the modern workshop and a welcoming home office.
With increased amounts of time spent in the home office, and with the added challenges of lighting video calls, lighting needs to be versatile, practical, and kind on the eye. Hanging a Coolicon lampshade directly above or slightly to the side of your non-dominant hand will ensure your workspace is well lit while the ambient gallery light keeps you ready for your close-up on any video call.

"Great in sunlight, never to fade"
Handmade in England with the same care and craftmanship first employed in 1933 Coolicon lampshades come to life over a period of three days. Reflecting the skills of our artisans, each shade is a testament to the time-honoured skills employed at every stage of production.
The repeated firing of the lampshade leads to unique character marks. The Fresh Teal Vitreous Enamel pulls away from the edges of the shade when fired resulting in beautiful dark expressed edges. Sitting proud of the surface, the expressed joint between the vented gallery and the reflector draws focus to the heritage construction.
The Vitreous Enamel finish is highly reflective, considerably more so than paints and powder coatings. The benefit? The white Vitreous Enamel inside the lampshade reflects a clean, bright light and is highly efficient at lighting below, making a Coolicon lampshade the ideal choice for home office lighting.
"Say goodbye to dark interiors with this high-efficiency lampshade"
