Marbled pink swirl handmade lampshade

B R Y T E BY BRYONY

B R Y T E specialises in creating printed, hand-painted, and embellished paper lampshade designs. Every lampshade is lovingly handcrafted by Bryony herself. From creating unique one-off cyanotype prints to the making and decorative finish of each piece, the whole process is done in her studio, making each design truly individual. 

From a textile design background, Bryony sold her degree collection of printed and embellished fabric slippers to Donna Karen and then went on to set up a fashion accessories label with her sister that was stocked in Fenwicks and won Best New Product at the Pulse trade show in London. 

After a career break for the early years of her two children, interiors have become a passion and lampshades have filled the creative desire to combine print, pattern and embellishment to create unique pieces for the home. A lampshade can bring so much joy to a room whether lit or just admired from afar. ‘Lampshades have little personalities themselves’ Bryony believes you shouldn't underestimate the power of a lampshade to make a room. Bryony would love to see her designs inject fun and character into people's homes.

THE DESIGN PROCESS

The first B R Y T E lampshade Bryony made was using an early cyanotype design featuring a bow. Cyanotype printing (or sun printing) is predominately Blue and more commonly uses botanical references. The cyanotype process influenced the use of blue in other designs within the collection. Blue is one of Bryony's favourite colours. ' I love Blue in all areas of interior design. Its such a versatile colour and pairs so well with other colours' 

Favourite designers include Chloe, fashion photographer Tim Walker and designer Toord Boontje.

Expect colour, pattern, scallops, bows, botanical influences and stripes with surprise elements too.

Bryony works from her home studio in Twickenham with her house rabbit Bobby!
