Paris Haus, the luxury home atelier founded by designer Parisha Shodhan, introduces a new collection of embroidered lamps that brings the intricacy of handwork into an unexpected territory. Here, the lampshade becomes a canvas, its embroidered patterns shifting in character as the day moves from natural light to an evening glow.
Project Name: Embroidery Into Light With Its New Lamp Collection
Studio Name: Paris Haus
The Celestial Wonder lamps explore an earthy palette of sand, champagne, bronze and black. Across their tapered shades, embroidery moves in sweeping, irregular bands, almost like mineral veins or an abstract landscape. Fine beadwork and metallic threads sit against translucent fabric, catching points of light without overwhelming the pattern. The floor lamp is kept deliberately slender, with a polished brass sphere interrupting its long stem, while the pendant carries the same embroidered language overhead.
A different mood arrives with Skybells. Deep midnight-blue shades are crossed by branching trails of silver and metallic embroidery, their wandering lines resembling vines, constellations or cracks of light across a night sky. The floor lamp pairs the embroidered shade with a sculptural stem composed of graduating metallic spheres. Its pendant counterpart strips the form back, allowing the blue shade and its glimmering surface to command attention.
For most lamps, the magic begins after dark, when the switch is turned on and light takes over. At Paris Haus, the lamp commands attention long before it is illuminated. Intricate embroidery, delicate beadwork and exquisitely worked surfaces give each piece a jewel-like presence, making it the main character of the room rather than a functional accessory. The craftsmanship is ethereal enough to hold the eye in daylight, while illumination reveals another dimension in its threads, textures and sheen. It is lighting conceived as something to desire, admire and live with, even before it begins to glow.
