Tishrei Lampshades

Check out these lovely lampshades from NZ designer Tracey Tishrei  - fresh and colourful, featuring flora and fauna in an almost decoupage style. We have some in the store now, pop on in and have a look!

Mother's Day Goodies

If you're still hunting for a little (or large!) something for Mother's Day, pop into esdesign to see some of the new goodies we've recently got in stock. Included are some great new lampshades, one-of-a-kind cushions and these two pairs of fully restored and re-upholstered chairs - a great shape and conveniently small footprint yet still really comfy!

We also have gift vouchers which can be used towards product in the store, sewing room work or consultancy services - so there really is something to suit everyone!

A Wavy Shade

We have recently completed this shade re-make for a client of ours - we were asked to replicate her existing shade that was just a bit old and tired, this time using the gorgeous 'Painted Garden' fabric from James Dunlop. Isn't the wavy shape cool!? The original shade had sentimental value so we re-used the trim in a nod to its former life.

Black, White and Baubled Victorian Shade

Chelsea and Monique spent Saturday finishing off this great Victorian lampshade covered in gorgeous black and white striped silk and trimmed with fabulous yellow pom poms! LOVE!

Rocket Lamp

Here's a great rocket lamp we've had re-covered for a client in Sanderson 'Mobiles' from the 1950's collection. It looks fantastic, don't you think!?

Another Yellow Glass Goodie

We have got our sticky paws on another gorgeous yellow glass lamp base and seeing the good response we had for the previous one, we've made another shade for it out of this gorgeous turquoise moire fabric. It looks so lovely with the afternoon sun shining through it!

How amazing is this lampshade made from a doily style tablecloth? We love the way the intricate pattern is illuminated... a nice warm glow for a wet, wintry day.
