EXOTICS

We have a ready stock of 2 exotics materials for use in making our lamps and shades.

The Calico material, code F2, is handwrapped around a PVC substrate, and is the only material we send off site to get finished. Because of this, not all shapes and sizes are readily available in the Calico material, and there may sometimes be a delay in ordering these products if we are out of stock. Despite this, it is one of our most popular materials, as it gives not only a warming glow, but has texture and depth to the shades that is hard to capture any other way.

The Seagrass weave, code C8, is a close knit paper based weave. Along with our moiré materials, it is one of the few materials that do not need any PVC substrate at all, the material is rigid all by itself. Allowing only small amounts of light through - shedding colour, more than light, it is a dark material, but extremely popular and fitting in country pubs and the like, in small cones, and candle clip shades.

Below is an image library of our exotic materials, demonstrating their look in an unlit state.
You can move your mouse over any of the material images, and if we have an image of that fabric lit up, the image will change to show that.
