Snowball Atelier is where lighting becomes part of the interior story. We create limited-edition lampshades using luxurious textiles and carefully considered designs, giving each piece its own character while complementing the curated aesthetic of Snowball Antiques & Interiors.
Each Snowball Atelier lampshade begins with a carefully considered design. We source beautiful fabrics, distinctive trims and quality materials to create limited-edition pieces that combine timeless elegance with contemporary style. Every lampshade is handcrafted with attention to detail, ensuring it is as beautiful when unlit as it is when illuminated.
Our collections are produced in small quantities, allowing us to focus on craftsmanship and originality rather than mass production. We also welcome bespoke commissions, creating custom lampshades in your preferred fabric, size or style to complement your home or interior design project.
Our first collection gathers eight distinct designs — portraits and botanicals, painted drapery, toile narratives and archive pages. Each is made in a limited edition, and each can be commissioned in your own fabric, size or scale.
A Renaissance-inspired portrait encircled by proteas, peonies and wild roses on a charcoal or deep olive ground, finished with a soft antique fringe.
Painted silk falls in tassels, cords and heavy folds, with moths and beetles hidden quietly in the shadows for those who look twice.
Miniature framed artworks, botanical plates and portraits hung right around the shade on a ground of dark ink or moss — a salon wall in the round.
Birds, leopards and blooms drawn in dense etching-style linework — exuberant, but European in feeling and beautifully restrained in colour.
Story scenes of garden tables, figures and landscapes set out in a classical toile layout, in a palette of stone, olive and ink.
Fruit, florals, ceramics and books, painted with dramatic light against a dark ground — painterly texture that deepens once the lamp is lit.
A smaller repeat floral drawn from The Muse, softer in scale and made to sit alongside the larger designs as a lining or a pleated shade.
Handwritten script, Latin names, labels and sketches layered over aged paper — a page from a naturalist's notebook, wrapped in light.
