The Ellen Merchant Wiggly Stars empire lamp shade combines a hand-blocked print with a classic empire silhouette, produced using hand-carved wooden blocks for a distinctive artisan finish. The wine and crimson colourway delivers rich tonal depth, with the repeating star motif applied through a labour-intensive block-printing process. At 25cm, the shade provides a generous spread of diffused light while the hand-worked surface adds textural character.
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.
