enamel Lampshades
Each lamp is handmade in a small workshop in the north of Portugal, where each piece is made to order. This workshop is the only one in both Portugal and Spain to maintain an artisanal production of enamelled pieces: from street plates to ceiling lamps. The lamp’s steel sheet mold is also produced locally with the best quality and free of toxic components like carbon. Every lamp is made to order in a range of 25 custom colors.

“The factories that existed in Porto were closing at the time [1990’s]. They used to manufacture kitchen utensils, bathtubs, traffic signs, door number plates, and street nameplates (...) People called us crazy because we were opening [our business] when all the others were shutting down [theirs].”
