Large 1933™ Design  

Designed with modern living in mind, the Large 1933™ Design lampshade places the lightbulb higher in the vent, providing greater ambient light than the Original. Sharing the same visual language and proportions as the Original 1933™ Design lampshade, this larger style allows a wider, more diffused cone of light to be emitted below. Nevertheless, the highly reflective Vitreous Enamel finish remains unwavering. 

Expertly hand finished in Vitreous Enamel – a material formed of glass, minerals and oxides - fired in a furnace at over 800oC, creating a robust finish with strength to last a lifetime.

Never to fade or tarnish

Easy to clean

Healthy to live with

Heat generated by light bulbs can easily dissipate from above due to the vented design. This design aspect was developed through necessity in 1933 when 100-watt bulbs burned at extremely high temperatures. Helping keep traditional bulbs 40% cooler than before, the vent also lends itself to the LED technology of today, extending the lifespan of these energy efficient alternatives. 

A two-part construction; the vented design that revolutionised the British industrial lighting scene.

First patented in 1933, the Coolicon lampshade invited craft aesthetic into the iconic design by way of production. With expressed edges that honour a craft heritage, the Large 1933™ Design lampshade is still handmade in England to the original specification. 

Each lampshade is hand welded and expertly hand-finished using traditional wet-enamelling processes mastered by people, not machines.

Decades of craft knowledge has been passed down by generations of craftsmen to form the character rich products you see today.

Makers’ marks emphasise the skill of the craftsman who made the lampshade, individual to their technique and the timeless craft materials.
