These exotic coloured glass shades add warmth and vibrancy to a room, in a much more dramatic way than clear glass. Using light and colour changes the atmosphere and character of a room with the click of a switch. When switched off, these shades are bright, cheerful and luminous, their frilly shape adds femininity to a space. When switched on, they emit colour and wonderful wavy shadows across your walls and ceilings. This ability to soften and shape the look of a room makes them perfect for above tables, beside a bed or in a place where people gather and enjoy the gentle soft and uplifting light.

Amber naturally occurs when resin from the bark of pine and fir trees hardens over thousands of years. It is used in jewellery and precious objects because of its authentic warm glow and translucent quality. Our frilly shades are not real amber, they are made from a deep rich glass that is slumped and fired. During this process, the glass collects tiny bubbles, texture and minute imperfections that make it feel organic and natural. Each light is a bit different, particularly the Grand shades, which can have slightly irregular pleats as some droop a little more than others, resulting in a naturally organic form.

Amber appealed to us so much, a warm glow is always a welcome sight in a home. It is also a surprisingly easy colour to integrate into your existing decor, midway between orange and yellow, amber just seems to work every time.

These frilly lights are the first glass lights we've ever made and we learnt so much along the way. Helen and our product designers, Matt and Dan, worked tirelessly with a local glass artist to make these beautiful pendants, from designing the delicate frilly pleats to creating the exact shade of cranberry, chartreuse or amber that Helen had imagined. It certainly has been a labour of love, but so worth it to be able to offer a truly special glass light.

The making of these glass shades is a handmade process where the ingredients are mixed and then heated in a furnace for hours until the glass is in a molten state; at this stage, the molten glass is rolled into individual flat sheets by hand. The result is a very thin piece of glass that has a lot of interesting texture and it allows us to achieve an intricate pleated shape. A circle is cut by hand from the glass sheet and then the frilly shape is formed in a kiln as the glass softens and slumps down over a handmade steel mould. We're so excited by the way they have turned out and we can't wait to see them hanging above a table or giving an atmospheric light to a little corner.
