Original Grey, Colour Notes

A key colour in Coolicon’s 1933 palette, Original Grey was first used in the UK automotive industry - lighting workspaces. This classic lampshade is a warm grey which recalls rain clouds and polished concrete – complimentary to a host of interiors. 

Ideal for a home office or study, we recommend the Original 1933™ Design lampshade. The directed cone of light provides the perfect industrial style lighting to bring focus to the task at hand.

Coolicon® Lighting Accessories

Cleaning your Vitreous Enamel lampshade

Due to the glasslike Vitreous Enamel finish, the lampshade can easily be cleaned with a soft cloth.

For stubborn marks, a high-quality window/glass cleaner can be applied to the cloth then passed over the lampshade. Care should always be taken to avoid contact with the Coolicon badge.

A balanced blend of utility Lighting and industrial style, perfect for any home office

Designed to light a myriad of tasks throughout 1930s industrial Britain the Coolicon® lampshade is traditional utility lighting.
Today’s Original 1933™ Design is a reproduction of the Standard Coolicon® and flourishes in working environments whether they be kitchen counters, workshop benches or office desks.

In recent years there’s been a substantial shift in the way people work, there are now more opportunities than ever to work from home. Not without its difficulties, working remotely requires a calm, organised space that allows for concentration and focus. Hanging an exquisite Coolicon® lampshade directly above or just to the side of a desk provides plenty of light for working tasks – and is sure to be a conversation piece during a video call or two!

"Working hard or hardly working?
There's never a dull moment
when working under Coolicon's
timeless pendant lights"

"Great in sunlight, never to fade"

Coolicon lampshades are handmade, and hand finished. There are touch points all over our lampshades giving them their character and quirks. From the weld smoothing at the very beginning of their journey, to the hand enamelling, to the gold Coolicon badge application at the end of their journey – our lampshades are shaped by human influence.  

We ensure that hand craft is relevant at every stage of our production process, this gives us beautifully unique products. We celebrate the individualism of our lampshades, and by buying a Coolicon lampshade, you do too.

Spending long hours squirreled away in the study? Not to worry, Coolicon lampshades are healthy to live with. Our top-secret Vitreous Enamel recipes are formed by milling and mixing natural minerals, oxides, and glass – the resulting finish is non-VOC. This means no nasty chemicals or gases leach into the surrounding environment ensuring you can focus on the task at hand and not at what’s hanging above your head – a little procrastination to admire the Coolicon® shade notwithstanding.

"Finishes that are healthy to live with - and work under!"

Warm Grey lampshades; perfect for industrial style interiors

A timeless colour all too familiar to the team in our Edinburgh office (it’s the colour of our sky) and inspired by some of the more underappreciated influences. Original Grey hints at rain clouds, the striking industrial chic of polished concrete, an old school blazer or the hulk of a battleship.  

Highly versatile Original Grey can be paired with a variety of colours, why not try pairing with Original Green or Powder Pink.
