Travel Notes - Paris
Here at the light shade studio fabric is an essential part of our DNA, along with our in house palette we offer a bespoke service which has seen some exciting fabric designs become beautiful lampshades. So for us Deco Off which took place in Paris last weekend was a must see.

We visited many famous fabric houses in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Home to the famous Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots, both known for the celebrities who have graced their chairs.

Our Gatsby fringed pendant was inspired by the roaring twenties and there was no place more famous in the Jazz Age than the vibrant Maxims restaurant on the Rue Royale.
