Hi, I’m Mel

Thank you for stopping by! I am a designer and maker. From my London studio, I make a range of happy handmade lights in a rainbow of colours.

Where it all began..

I was born into a family of makers, learning upholstery from my grandfather, sewing and tapestry from my grandmother and spinning and weaving from my mother. Craft is well and truly in my blood! This was my first spinning class in 1979 run by my mum!

The Journey..

After spending 10 years working in the fashion industry and inspired by my family life, I made the decision to get back to what I loved - making! Using many of the tools passed down from generations, I found myself mixing the old with the new and launching a range of bespoke knitted upholstery.

Today..

You can usually find me in my natural habitat; at my spinning wheel in my London based studio, hand-making every product and sprinkling a touch of magic over my unique and beautifully crafted collection of lighting.

Thank you.

Nothing gives me more joy, than using traditional crafts techniques to create truly individual items that I hope will be destined for family heirlooms. Ditch the plastic and let’s celebrate the people, places and times that make us most happy. Wether you are commemorating a new arrival, decorating a child’s room, gifting for a special occasion or just want a light to lift your everyday. We have you covered.
