Before our shades ever hang off of light fixtures, they first spend time on coat hangers. This is an intermediary step in the production process. What does that look like?
🖌️ All of our designs are our own! We start off making collagraph plates with plants & found materials. After printing with an etching press, the designs are photographed and uploaded to a US-based fabric print shop.
📦 Once printed, the fabrics ship to us here in Maine.
✂️ We iron, measure, and cut the fabric to size and lay them onto their backing material.
🧥 They might hang tight on a coat hanger, until we decide to roll them. Rolling is the step where they get wrapped and adhered to rings.
💡Showtime! Constructed shades first illuminate our showroom and when discovered by you - make their way into your home, workspace, or garden.
Whew. That’s a lot of steps for one shade, but we think it’s worth it!
