Lampwardrobe traces its beginnings to Michael's two decades in high-end interior design and lighting, serving discerning clients and influential designers across the United States and abroad. During those years, Michael immersed himself in the world of bespoke furnishings, ultimately teaching himself the rare art of hand-painted lampshades. His method is rooted in authenticity: each creation begins as a flat sheet of translucent styrene, which is cut, shaped, and mounted onto metal rings. Only then does the truly artistic process begin, with every shade meticulously layered in custom-mixed paints using a careful sponge-removal technique. This ritual transforms practical lighting into something entirely new - a source of warmth, mood, and a point of intrigue. With Lampwardrobe, Michael revives his heritage with an unwavering dedication to artistry, crafting each illuminated shade as an original piece for environments where art and tradition intersect.
