The Ellen Merchant Wiggly Stars empire lamp shade features a hand-blocked print developed from hand-carved wooden blocks, with each piece carrying the natural variation of the block-printing process. The wine and crimson tones work across the empire form, with the repeating star motif providing graphic structure to the surface. At 16cm, the shade suits smaller or accent lamp bases while maintaining the full detail of the hand-worked design.
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.
