The Ellen Merchant Palmette tall tapered shade combines a compact 14cm form with a hand-carved linocut print drawn from the classical palm leaf motif, translated onto linen with a naturally textured finish. The tapered silhouette concentrates light downward, while the beryl colourway introduces a composed, cool-toned accent. The linocut printing process gives the repeating palmette pattern a slightly organic, handcrafted quality that distinguishes it from digitally printed alternatives.
A little bit of Ancient Greece meets a lot of groovy. The Palmette takes its cues from the classical palm leaf ornament but adds a playful, undulating wiggle for a decidedly retro twist. Originally hand-carved as a linocut by Ellen to capture that lovely, lived-in texture, it’s a masterclass in contrast. Whether you opt for the zingy ‘Citrine’ or the calm of ‘Beryl’, it’s a striking composition that feels right at home in both cool and warm schemes.
