Rug Lamp

Textile patterns rarely survive the jump into a rigid material, but that is the trick this shade pulls off. Its surface is worked with the kind of repeating woven motif you would find on a hand-knotted floor rug: banded borders, geometric repeats, the pattern breaking and resolving again as it wraps around the form. Lit from within, that relief stops being decoration and becomes the entire point, throwing the weave outward across the wall behind it. It suits rooms that are already warm rather than clinical. A reading corner, a hallway table, a bedside where a hard overhead light would be too much. Anyone drawn to the mid-century and folk-textile end of interiors will recognise the language straight away. A single-file lighting piece for makers who want a lamp with some actual character rather than another plain cylinder.
