In-House / Detail-Led

Designed to Belong in the Room.

A custom lampshade can carry the same visual and material language as the rest of an interior. FDO helps designers bring that final layer into the workroom early, with in-house fabrication, supplied frames and fittings, and a practical path for supplied or designer-specified fabric.

In-House Fabrication

A variety of custom lampshade styles fabricated within the FDO workroom for designer-led interiors.

Fabric and Components

FDO can supply fabric, frames, fittings, and related components, or work with designer-specified fabric direction.

Standalone or Coordinated

Quote a standalone lampshade order or coordinate it with custom pillows, drapery, and Roman shades for the same designer-led project.
