The Story behind
Lampshades crafted with artistry and precision
Founded in 1985, A Shade Above was built on a commitment to quality and personal service. What began as a family business has evolved into a team of makers, technicians, and project managers working across bespoke commissions. Every project is approached with care and precision, guiding both one-off pieces and larger schemes from specification through to delivery; from private commissions to installations at the Royal Academy Of Arts and the Royal Opera House.

A dedicated showroom and online portfolio support the design and specification process, offering guidance on shapes, fabrics, finishes, and fittings. Projects are undertaken globally and managed seamlessly from concept through to delivery.
