Vitreous Enamel Colour Notes; Selvedge
A unique blue enamel, Selvedge takes you deep into a winter sea storm. The changing light brings glimpses of worn denim and your favourite pair of blue jeans. Our homage to the artisans of denim production and the choppy British seas.
For an intimate, relaxed atmosphere in a modest living room try suspending a single Original 1933™ Design lampshade over your coffee table. Unwind on the sofa with a coffee, or a late-night tipple of your choosing, in this softly lit space.

Original Industrial Lampshades; Beautiful over living room coffee tables
A perfect reading light for those quiet nights in, this smaller Selvedge lampshade can also light the full room - a low wattage bulb will create calm, subdued lighting, whereas a higher wattage bulb will brighten the room with vivid direct light below and ambient lighting throughout the space. Create a striking display over a coffee table with a cluster of Original 1933™ Design lampshades - mix and match across our Classic, Contemporary and Select palettes to build a playful statement piece.
The Original 1933™ Design lampshade re-established the Standard Coolicon for modern living. In its time, the Standard Coolicon widely lit the industry workbenches of 1930s Britain. Now, our updated enamel colours bring this utility shade into the heart of contemporary homes worldwide.
The petite, welcoming form and innovative vented gallery allows for soft ambient lighting above while producing a stronger task lighting below. As dusk is ushered in the vented gallery spills light across the top surface of the shade, revealing subtle tones of colour.

elegantly in contemporary homes
forming a timeless aesthetic"

To create the brilliant colours of our Vitreous Enamel finishes, glass chips and minerals must be milled and mixed. Different colours are milled for different lengths of time depending on how tough or brittle the minerals are to begin with. Getting the consistency of the milled mixture just right can be tricky and there is a fine line between not milling enough and milling too much. Our master enamellers can judge this by touch, and each has a consistency that they prefer to work with. This is not a process that can be measured by a tool but by human influence.
Easy to clean and healthy to live with, our Vitreous Enamel finishes are milled from glass, natural minerals, and oxides. As an impermeable material, the resulting glass finish, Vitreous Enamel, will not emit any gases or react with chemicals. In comparison, painted and powder-coated products are reliant on petrochemical based pigments.
Another benefit of Vitreous Enamel? Due to the continued, seamless finish our lampshades can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth - keeping your living room dust free and your shade as vibrant as ever.
"Handcrafted by expert and made for today"
Our unique blue enamel that changes from vibrant to warm tones throughout the day
With glimpses of worn denim Selvedge moves from vibrant to warm throughout the day, just as jeans age to become unmistakably yours.
Using shuttle looms and indigo-dyeing techniques, traditional processes of the past, ‘Selvedge Jeans’, like our pendant shades, take time and uncompromising craftsmanship to come to life.
For a warm contrast pair Selvedge with Latte Brown.
