Today I let the staff do the chandelier shades, bedroom shades, lounge table shades, (all the ordinary shades), etc and I am doing something DIFFERENT!
Matt Allison , the well known urban farmer in Cape Town, contacted me to manufacture an atomic lampshade for his 50's lampbase.
This base has two light fittings. The one is for a bright light (like reading), the other - just for light.
And it has 2 pull chains to switch them on and off - clever! - Ideal for electricity saving in South Africa.
This is all the planning I did.
And now: for the fabric. The 2 cone shape shades will be black cotton and the centre drum will be a beautiful fabric from Skinny la Minx.
Now we are busy with the wiring, then the epoxy coating, and then I will post pictures again of how we progress....
