Custom-Designed Mica Shades

Mica is a thin layer of natural minerals, hydrous silicates of aluminum, known for its translucent, sparkling beauty and various shadings. Mined worldwide, its color is determined by its iron content. Mica ranges from pinks and greens to blacks and browns. It also is resistant to heat, and has both artistic and industrial uses.

• At The William Morris Studio, we craft mica into custom-created lampshades accented with natural leaves, including Japanese maple, ginkgo, pepper tree, oak, eucalyptus and bamboo.

• We use only a special grade of mica, chosen for its clarity of color and pattern.

• We hand-collect and dry only the finest leaf specimens, seeking beauty of form and color.

• Lampshades may be custom-ordered to highlight the foliage of a particular region.

• Shades may be interchanged among designs to accommodate personal tastes.

• Shades are hand-trimmed with belting, soutache and custom cording.
