North America Edition

Our Paper Cream lampshade has a comforting tone, instantly familiar from many a childhood tale; adventure awaits when holding the pages of an old paper map. Never to fade or tarnish, all the history and curiosity of Harry Beck’s original London Underground map is preserved in our signature high-gloss enamel. Here lay the foundations of a million great journeys, whether underneath the streets of London or further afield.

With the intricate enamelling of Harry Beck’s first edition London Underground map in the reflector, this lampshade is a masterpiece when switched both on and off. Our Paper Cream shade nestles quietly into a busy dining room, with the flashes of colour from the expertly hand-enamelled map sparking conversation across every table.

E26 Suspension Sets

Exclusively designed for our North American customers, a Coolicon lampshade wouldn’t be complete without it; the E26 Signature Brass suspension set. Included in the price shown above.

With beautiful symmetry and a design tailored for use in North America, our white Vitreous Enamel ceiling cups mirror the iconic gallery of the Coolicon lampshade, both in size and shape. Made from the same high-grade steel and finished in matching white enamel, our ceiling cups are durable and electrically insulated. As lovers of the finer details, our ceiling cups ensure a sleek lighting design from ceiling to lampshade.

Just like the trusty Coolicon lampshade, our Signature Brass E26 lamp holder is designed to last for decades. Expertly detailed with diamond knurling reminiscent of an industrial past and elegantly imprinted with “Coolicon®” around the top, this lighting set will be admired in any interior.

A natural sheen unlike any other. This carefully selected Italian cable is finely overbraided with black fabric in the homeland of Coolicon to ensure your lampshade hangs with an extra touch of class and authenticity.
Adjustable drop length:
Min 15cm – Max 230cm (Min 6"– Max 90½")
Please note: Our E26 Standard Suspension Sets components are UL Listed for the USA only

Materials / Size / Weight

Our Large 1933™ Design lampshade provides a greater ambient light into the room than the Original 1933 due to the lightbulb sitting slightly higher in the larger gallery opening. This design also allows for a wider and softer cone of light to be emitted below. Sharing the same visual language and proportions as the Original 1933 Design™ shade, this larger design shapes light differently to suit main room or statement lighting.

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.

Statement lampshades to be admired from the dinner table

The heat-reducing vents that are now an iconic feature of the Coolicon lampshade have multiple advantages in comparison to other lampshades. These vents allow you to direct the ambient light in whichever direction you chose. By doing so you can change the ambience of a room just by one simple twist, while the task lighting cast below will stay the same. Coolicon lampshades give you full control over your lighting in a classic style. 

We revel in seeing our customers styling projects, and what better place to go all out than in the hub of all memorable evenings and meals shared, the dining room. The size and shape of your dining table will influence the lighting scheme you choose to centre around it. For those who love entertaining around a longer linear table, a row of Large 1933™ Design shades in between place settings makes for a gorgeously thought-out lighting installation. Why not swap out a central lampshade for the Paper Cream, create a focal point as well as a great conversation piece to get the evening flowing. 

"Create focal points with interior
lighting that intrigues your visitors"

"Great in sunlight, never to fade"

The Underground Collection celebrates a shared history; Harry Beck’s original first edition London Underground map, also created in 1933, is lovingly hand enamelled into our lampshades.

Our Paper Cream lampshade begins its journey in the same way as our Standard Collection shades - with multiple applications of Vitreous Enamel and firings in the 800°C furnace to solidify each layer. An additional visit to the furnace embeds our hand-applied enamel map into the body of the lightshade showcasing the talent and precision of our master craftsmen.

"Handmade lighting that showcases the talent of master craftspeople"

A tribute to Harry Beck's 1933 London Underground map

This bright and comforting Vitreous Enamel colour pulls Coolicon lampshades from the grind of industrial factories into the fresh front rooms of modern homes and interiors.  

Paper Cream’s warm tones of clotted cream and aged ivory paired with contrasting dark edges make for a timeless combination. This comforting and nostalgic shade takes you back to the days of giant newspapers and classically bound books

Create a relaxing space by incorporating Selvedge Original 1933™ Design lampshades as accent lighting throughout the room.
