ClothShop by Christopher Farr Cloth presents Illuminating Worlds: Light as Storytelling for London Craft Week. A collaborative exhibition showcasing a series of one-off hand-crafted lampshades that reimagine its surface as a site for storytelling, where light reveals colour and narrative. Created in collaboration with leading contemporary artists and makers, each piece brings a distinct visual language, forming a body of work that sits between art and design. Paired with handcrafted bases by master makers, all lampshades are available to purchase online with proceeds supporting Bridges for Communities, a charity that connects people of different cultures and faiths, enabling them to build friendships, grow in their understanding of one another and live well with difference.

A Starry Night at Versailles by Tony Green

The Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles captures the grandeur and power of the French monarchy during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King. Rich in detail, the artwork created on the lampshade highlights an illusion of spontaneous movement through shape and colour. The playful shapes, horses, and loose lines give the lampshade an energetic and uniquely individual style, interpreting reflection and surreal patterns.

A Cheshire born Illustrator and artist working across fashion, interiors and design, Tony Green is known for expressive drawings that explore character, pattern and colour. After graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2010, he worked in Paris with the iconic fashion house Sonia Rykiel, creating illustrations, prints and collection concepts.

His work has since led to collaborations with international brands including Diane von Furstenberg, Selfridges, L’Oréal, Smythson, and other luxury brands within fashion and interiors. His illustrations have appeared in publications such as British Vogue and The World of Interiors, as well as being featured in leading department stores around the UK.
