African Inspired Lampshades: Interior styling inspiration

"Collect things you love, that are authentic to you, and your house becomes your story." ~ Erin Flett ⁣ ⁣
Have you seen our latest designs yet. More and more colourful designs 




Quite functional: They come in different shapes & sizes (custom orders welcome) and can be used as ceiling pendants or paired up with a lamp base (table & floor). 

Adding colour: The colours, vibrancy & patterns will "funkify" any space and be a conversation starter too!

 My handcrafted lampshades are my signature & best-selling products. They seem to be gaining quite a reputation, slowly becoming a movement (in my head).

I tend to seek out eye-catching African inspired design prints which may be bold, geometric, retro, tribal, botanical, mid-century modern or even  geeky too!  

At the moment I’m obsessed with giving my lampshades alternative linings on the inside like metallic gold or bronze as well as making them transparent too.

I love commissions, special projects & collaborations, especially partnering with interior designers/stylists, property developers, home-stagers, architects etc. I also work with film set & stage designers.

When Detola & Geek Popped Up in Canary Wharf

One of my goals for 2019 was to host/hold more "Pop Up Shops" in different venues & cities/towns.

This dream came true recently. As early as in the 1st quarter of this year! The Universe surely has my back, believe.

I do like taking "Detola & Geek" on the road. Being flexible and able to work in different settings is amazing to say the least. Just the same when I sell in person at handmade/craft fairs. 

That email out of the blue from Standard & Poor Global (S & P Global) London caught me totally unawares. They reached out to my teeny weeny handmade independent business to see if I was interested in having a Pop Up Shop. I couldn't have been happier and of course I said YES. 

Here are some images from the in-house event on 27th March 2019.



Also, Detola and Geek donated a portion of it's takings on the day to S & P's nominated Charity - Mind.

Can't wait to be back again, sometime soon :-)
