<div dir="ltr">
The stunning Marsala paint color, is Pantone decor colour for 2015. A great colour choice for all seasons, as it has a <u>coo</u>l undertone for the hot summer days, but the richness of the colour, will also bring warmth in winter. So- paint a wall, add a few cushions and add a lampshade in this colour or tone, and your home will be looking as good as new! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Natural fibre is still on top of the list in lampshade manufacturing. Woven cottons, raffia shades, lots of crystals and natural beads. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Wire frame lamps are still popular and look out for our new range and colour schemes which will be available at the beginning of February. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Popular colour themes for 2015:<br />
Shades of Plascon Marsala<br />
Gold<br />
Brass<br />
Bronze<br />
and the silver/grey is still trending</div>
<div dir="ltr">
And lastly PENDANTS. I should have made this nr 1. Pendants in the kitchen, lounge, living areas, bedrooms, patios. Clusters, single hanging, rows, anything goes, as long as it hangs. </div>

<div dir="ltr">
2014 was a challenging but every positive year. We were confronted with styles, which were way above the average. We ran out of storage space from time to time, as some orders were bulker than others. We did interesting, <u>creative</u> lamps for once-off projects. Our new lampbase division took off with a big BANG. And we are looking forward to 2015. Herewith a little peak of what happened behind the scenes... </div>

<br />
As we in South Africa use different lamp holders to Europe, the imported one's come with an Euro fitting. <br />
For weeks we were at the drawing board, designing a good size Cage Pendant Light with a South African Lamp fitting, just for you - our customer! <br />
And here it is. An Industrial Cage Pendant with a Vintage feel at <u>an affordable price</u>, with or without a lamp fitting and/or cord and a Standard South African bulb fitting or an Euro one!. A winner for sure.... <br />

What an interesting day! One of my clients brought an interesting glass "pot" for us to turn into a lamp base. Well well - we all wondered what was the use. It has an inscription of "British Syphon" and a patent number .<br />

It looks as if this soda siphon could date from the 1870's. Unfortunately, due to age, the mesh wire is missing (the wire marks are still visible on the pot). It is made of very thick glass (so that it dont break in the gas making process) and I think the wire mess was there for protection, in case the glass should break.</div>

<br />For now, it will get a second life as a lamp base and will still make its owners proud - for not many people has a lamp base which date from the 1870's - 140 years later......</div>

Last week we recovered similar lampshades on this photo below. I did not know that these lampshades are still so popular! Well, well, to tell you a little secret - we had a boo-boo. When we stripped it, the top and bottom was 2 separate pieces. When we recovered it, we forgot about the "crown" at the top. Luckily the owner told us a piece was missing and we could trace the "crown" the rightful lampshade! Small mistakes happen. Luckily we could sort it out and deliver a stunning new lampshade (all in one piece), to a very happy client!<br />
<br />
These lampshades remind me of kings and queens.......<br />

We also exhibited at Decorex Cape Town and it was wonderful to introduce our products to new clients and touch base with our regular clients!</div>

And then the best news - we have just opened a new Retail outlet for our lovely lampshades. Come and visit our Retail Shop at the Somerset West Decor Centre, near Somerset West Mall where you can view interesting lampshades, discuss your requirements or just bring an old lampshade to be recovered.</div>

Not only did we do a very large pleated shade, but all the shades we made were white, black or a black white combination. What a week. </p>
<p>This lampshade is knife pleated and a pendant of 80 cm. Wow a biggie!</p>
<p>The stripe chandelier shades are always to die for!</p>
<p>And vertical stripe lampshades leave an excellent event impression... Come back for more...</p>
<p>I wonder whats up for next week...<br></p>
