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.
A timeless Jet Black task light for bedside tables and reading
The Original 1933™ Design is true to the first Standard Coolicon® lampshades. The petite rounded form and innovative vented gallery produces soft ambient lighting above and a stronger task light below.
Designed to be hung low, as night draws in the iconic vents cast an inviting glow of light that enriches the bold colour of the Vitreous Enamel finish.
Hanging either side of the bed and replacing the need for a bedside lamp these shades create soothing lighting ideal for relaxing.
The Original 1933™ Design lampshade shapes the light like no other - positioned over your bedside table the lower light cone can be used for reading. By rotating the lampshade on the lamp holder when fitting, you can position the arms of the top gallery to create glare free zones tailored to you.

"Great in sunlight, never to fade"
Born in the furnaces of industrial Britain and now reproduced by artisans in the UK’s few remaining dedicated workshops, the layers of hand applied Vitreous Enamel fuse powdered glass to Coolicon high-grade steel shades. This creates a deeply satisfying utilitarian finish. Spinning, pressing and hand forming create the curved shape of the reflector. After spinning, the reflector and vented gallery, aligned by hand and eye, are then welded together. When the steel lampshades arrive at the enamel factory any welding or forming marks are carefully cleaned up and removed by hand.
Easy to maintain with a simple duster, with colours that will never fade, Vitreous Enamel sets a standard unmatched in modern lighting industry. Lustre, practicality and craftsmanship promise a timeless statement piece which will last you a lifetime.
"LOOKS GREAT IN SUNLIGHT, WILL NEVER FADE"
A chic high-gloss finish Jet Black Lampshade
Once exclusively industrial lighting, our expanded colour palette welcomes the utility shades into the comforts of the modern home.
There is far more to this striking accent colour than simply the colour black. Our Jet Black shades resonate with industrial touchpoints; hewn coal, road tar and even the ubiquitous London black cabs inform our bespoke colourway. Hint of precious jet stones are referenced in the luxurious and luminescent gleam of our hand polished shades. For a bold statement try pairing with our Select Palette’s Antinium shade.
