Why we love working with British makers

A recent visit to one of the family-run workshops where our lampshades are made.

Behind the scenes from a visit to one of our suppliers, where almost everything in the workshop has been made by the founder himself over the last 30 years. Having been set up with his father-in-law back in the ‘80s, it’s still very much a family business and all of the lampshades are still beautifully made by hand.

It’s always amazing to see how much craftsmanship and care goes into making our lampshades, and one of the many reasons we love working with British suppliers. The mass produced lampshades just don't compare.

When we first started looking for lampshades back in 2020, it was initially really disappointing to see the quality of the lampshades we were finding, so we know how lucky we are to have connected with such talented teams. It’s always been so important to us to champion British makers and it's a joy to partner with people who share our commitment to sustainability and creating well-made things that can be treasured for years to come.
