North America Edition

The Underground Map Coolicon® lampshade pays homage to Harry Beck and his revolutionary map design. Mirroring the efficiencies that Coolicon®’s lighting brought to factories of the past, Beck’s iconic map design brought order to an otherwise complex transport system. The map is masterfully hand-enamelled onto the exterior of the lampshade, making this the only member of the Coolicon® family to have exterior detailing. Talk about something special!

A lampshade that is designed to be seen; the only lampshade in the Coolicon® family to show the map on the exterior of the shade, its intricate detailing makes for beautiful statement lighting. Set to be hung elegantly in the lounge over coffee tables or either side of the sofa, our Underground Map shade will create an inviting atmosphere while you entertain your guests.

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 living room light made for reading under

Shape your lighting differently with the original factory light in our selection of contemporary colourways. The multipurpose vented gallery design will help brighten up your interiors from above and below as it casts ambient light upward and strong task lighting below. Redirect your lighting at any point by simply rotating the shade and vents to suit your vision. As night draws in and the lights switch on, watch as Harry Beck’s underground map comes to life by the light cast from the shade. 

Our Underground 1933™ Design lampshades are the perfect companion for the living room. Hang low beside your favourite armchair to create a comfortable reading nook, or for completing the crossword in ultimate peace. For statement walls, look no further; this iconic vented design allows you to direct the upward light towards or away from the wall simply by rotating the lampshade.

"Easily change the direction
of light to suit you"

"Great in sunlight, never to fade"

Our traditional factory lights are created using the same processes used techniques used in the very first Coolicon lampshade. To give the shades their signature high gloss shine and reflective properties, they are hand-finished in Vitreous Enamel. Using the complex process of wet enamelling, layers of enamel, a glass and oxide mixture, are applied before curing in the 800°C furnace. As the enamel melts and flows over the lampshades surface in the furnace, beautifully expressed edges are formed. This Maker’s Mark is more prominent in our lighter shades due to the contrast against the dark metal below.

Setting itself apart from our other lighting products, the Underground Map1933™ Design is our only lampshade with Harry Beck’s first edition London Underground map intricately hand enamelled to the exterior if the reflector. Carefully layered onto the shade before the final firing, the vibrant colours of each tube line contrast beautifully against the cream base. The design, created entirely from our signature Vitreous Enamels, is fused into the shade to create the sought-after high gloss finish. Easy cleaning and perfect lighting for generations.

"Lighting with detailed design finished entirely in Vitreous Enamel"
