Designing Lampshades for Modern NZ Homes by Hannah Wilson

At the heart of our collections is designer Hannah Wilson, whose work reflects a refined approach to New Zealand lighting design. Her philosophy is grounded in the belief that well-designed lighting should enhance everyday living, especially within the unique architectural styles and lifestyles of NZ homes.

Hannah views a lampshade as a critical design element—one that shapes not only light, but also mood and atmosphere. Each piece begins with careful consideration of form and proportion, ensuring the silhouette feels balanced and timeless in both modern and transitional interiors commonly found across New Zealand.

By combining materials such as metal, glass, fabric, and natural finishes, Hannah creates custom lampshade designs that respond to light in different ways. Structured metal frames provide definition, while softer materials help diffuse light gently—ideal for creating warm, comfortable environments in living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms.

Colour selection is equally intentional. Neutral tones are chosen to suit a wide range of interior palettes in NZ homes, while deeper shades and warm metallic accents add character without overwhelming the space. This thoughtful use of colour allows Hannah’s designer lighting to remain versatile, functional, and visually distinctive.

Through a balance of craftsmanship, material contrast, and design-led thinking, Hannah Wilson delivers modern lighting solutions for New Zealand homes. Her lampshades are designed not only to illuminate, but to complement the way people live—bringing atmosphere, personality, and a clear design identity into everyday spaces.
