Creation
The lampshade desig�s are created using digital photo-collage and drawing techniques to build multi-layered images with distinctive feat�res. This contemporar� drawing technique maintains the hand of the maker through the digital pen and tablet. Each desig� capt�res an original visual stor� with elements unfolding from ever� angle – ex�ect the unex�ected. In the bird collages hidden delights can be discovered: coffee beans, fossils, toast, tex�iles, cit�scapes, plants and flowers. All lampshades are made by professional shade makers with over t�ent� years ex�erience - the desig�s are digitally printedon parchment to create a subtly t�anslucent effect that enriches the desig� elements. This printed parchment is attached to a white, lacquered metal frame and finished at the top and base with fabric edging ribbon. A bulb wattage recommendation label is attached. The shade is then wrapped in clear, protective, cellophane and has a t�ademark Utopia wooden label tied to its frame.
Safety
