The Ellen Merchant 'Squiggles' empire shade provides a hand-blocked print developed from hand-carved wooden blocks, with the multi-step production process contributing to the tactile, artisanal finish of the pattern. Its empire silhouette tapers from top to base, while the pinky coral colourway combines pink and orange tones drawn from Merchant's original studio work. The 25cm diameter offers a versatile mid-size option compatible with a range of standard table lamp bases.
Here at Pooky, we don't just think that Ellen Merchant is one of the great designers of the future, we think she's one of the top textile designers of today. Hell yes. Graphically she's brilliant and also a genius with colour. We are thrilled to be hooking up with her again. All these designs started in her studio with her trusty pen and paper, and then developed into hand carved wooden blocks. The whole process is long and complex, but we are truly thrilled with the results. We hope you agree.
