Pennello Lampshade – Soft Geometric Lighting | Bowerbird Collections
Made in Australia
Eco friendly inks & natural fibres
Made to order
Add refinement to your interiors with the Pennello Lampshade, exclusively designed and handmade by Bowerbird Collections in Paddington, Brisbane.
This delicate geometric design celebrates the perfectly imperfect art of painting by hand. Named after the Italian word for brush, Pennello was originally painted in watercolour by Peta Sweetman. Designed to coordinate seamlessly with bold florals and neutral palettes, Pennello is a versatile choice for both maximalist and minimalist homes.
Each shade is handcrafted in-house using premium linen/cotton fabric printed locally with water based inks. Every detail, from the precision of the print to the impeccable finishing, meets our highest quality standards. When illuminated the lampshade emits a soft, warm glow that enhances the detail of the print, adding depth and atmosphere of the artwork.
