Make your own lampshades!
When it comes to inventing their homes and personalizing every little corner of the places where they spend most of their time, people tend to become as creative as a human being can be. As an expression of a great inspiration and a special sense of fashion, they convert all sorts of things in ornaments that make them feel more comfortable.
Who would have thought, for example, that brimmed hats (come on, you must remember them from old silent movies staring Charlie Chaplin), can turn into popular accessories for your home? If you can’t imagine how in earth something like this is possible, let me tell you that I’m not talking nonsense and that someone has come up with an original idea.
A brilliant mind (it might sound like an exaggeration, but you can’t question the fact that these lampshades are far from anything that you’ve seen so far) saw the decorative potentialities inside a brimmed hat, which is somehow weird, if I may say so. The lampshades, dubbed Jeeves and Wooster, after a British comedy series, are manufactured in the United Kingdom. They both come with a black wool felt exterior and with a fire-rated polycarbonate diffuser. There’s a difference between the two versions, concerning the interior: the Jeeves’ bowler is gold, while the Wooster’s top hat is silver. Both models are provided with a 40 watt light bulb.
“Part of the Hidden Art Select range, these pendant lights suitable for any aspiring gentleman or conscientious manservant where class and sophistication are the essential components to illumination. […] Both exude that quintessential British combination of regimented style and eccentricityâ€.
If you are interested in purchasing these pendant lights, then you can go to the Hidden Art Shop and grab them both for £415. However, you can also buy them separately: the Jeeves retails for £210 and Wooster for £225. If not, you can always make your own lampshades! All you need is a hat and… a little bit of imagination!
