Spark conversation with heritage lighting above the dining table
The Original 1933™ Design reimagines the very first Standard Coolicon lampshades and our Underground Collection enriches that heritage through shared design history. Both launched in 1933, this collection pays homage to Harry Beck and his revolutionary map design. A simple yet effective bi-directional light that provides comforting ambient light while emitting the purposeful task lighting below.
Mirroring the efficiencies that Coolicon’s lighting brought to factories of the past, Beck’s iconic map design brought order to an otherwise complex transport system – a design duo like no other.
Hanging a small Underground lampshade just above the eyeline creates both a centrepiece and a comfortable light without any glare.
For large tables, hanging an odd number of Original 1933™ Design lampshades will do just the trick. Pendant lampshades can be aligned to or in between table settings to maximise lighting efficiency. Have a little fun by swapping out the middle lampshade for an Underground Original 1933™ Design lampshade. An intriguing detail for guests to enjoy that looks great with the light switched on and off.
"Where Lighting design meets Engineering"
"Great in sunlight, never to fade"
The ultimate expression of a craftspersons’ art; our collection of Underground shades showcase the time-honoured handcrafting precision we find in all Coolicon lampshades.
Our artisans delicately apply the Vitreous Enamel London Underground map prior to the final firing. This complicated process is result of years of training with only a few time-served craftspeople able to achieve the seamless finish you see on these lampshades. Notice the slight level change where the tube lines are enamelled into the reflector, a detail we love as it mimics the very nature of the London Underground as it weaves its way under the busy London streets.
"Enamel lighting that mimics the nature of the underground rail network"
The vibrant blue of London's Piccadilly Line
From lighting factories, workshops and even London Underground’s communication rooms during World War II, our Underground Collection honours this utilitarian heritage within modern interiors.
The humble Piccadilly Line Blue of this lampshade reflects the hues of early night skies after days of exploring. With a vibrancy and depth synonymous with our Vitreous Enamel, this regal design adds a hint of adventure to classic interiors.
Beautifully paired with our Classic Palette or peppered throughout Sky Blue lampshades for playful lighting with sense of intrigue.
