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.
Handcrafted pendant shade for uniquely soft accent lighting; Perfect over any coffee table
Hanging a trio or cluster of Original 1933™ Design shades over a coffee table can transform the space from paired back to a hearty home. Often overlooked, your coffee table can become overrun by clutter. By spotlighting this piece you can create a central focal point, taking time and pride to incorporate décor and personal items that will tie the room together. No more forgotten about furniture pieces!
Our Original 1933 Design™ re-establishes the Standard Coolicon lampshade for modern commercial and domestic interiors. In its early years, the Standard Coolicon lit factories of 1930’s Britain's heavy industry, now, our developed colour palettes bring the utility shade into the contemporary home. The classic 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, resulting in brilliant displays of colour.

Every stage of the Coolicon enamelling process features personal touchpoints of our craftsmen.
Glass chips, along with natural oxides and minerals, are mixed and milled into a liquid enamel. This is not a particularly scientific process but more like baking. Periodically the enamel craftsmen will check the consistency of the enamel mixture – this can be determined by touch or by wiping the mixture over a steel blade to see how quickly it retreats and comes back. Different consistencies result in different applications – every master enameller has a consistency they most prefer to work with.
The continuous enamel finish means that Coolicon lampshades are easy to keep clean – no more dusty lampshades above your coffee table! The natural materials of the Vitreous Enamel finish are non-VOC. A Coolicon lampshade is a safe and healthy choice for your home, never to emit any gases or react with any chemicals.
"Dusting day? No problem. Easily cleaned Vitreous Enamel lighting is a game changer"
An ode to industrial architecture and London bricks; The Terracotta Lampshade
Familiar and warm, our Terracotta grows richer at sunrise and sunset. Inspired by the humble material of plant pots and roof tile we celebrate this icon of industry. With tones of umber and russet Terracotta doesn’t look out of place in organic settings of conservatories or near skylights.
Resembling the aging of a copper penny coin, we recommend pairing this deep Terracotta with our vivid Fresh Teal.
