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.
Bring life to the living room with playful lighting centrepieces

The high-gloss Vitreous Enamel finish of Beck’s Underground map ensures that light is seamlessly reflected while highlighting the rich colours of the enamelled lines.

"Great in sunlight, never to fade"
Handcrafted in the UK, our collection of Underground shades celebrate the alchemy of Vitreous Enamel. Finished with time-honoured skills, years in the making, these lampshades pay homage to Harry Beck and his revolutionary map design.
Each Vitreous Enamel coloured line is layered with precision and intricacy to create this joyous render of Beck’s London Underground map. Look carefully and you’ll spot each colour resides at a minutely different level within the shade; reflecting the nature of the underground rail network itself. This is due to the varying oxide and mineral compositions of each delicately weighed enamel. Fired into the shade, never to tarnish or fade, this map honours British design engineering and innovation at its finest hour.
