Shapely Pendant Shades

The Shapely Pendant Shades, designed by Autumn Products, came about after a long period of experimentation with Tyvek and the concept of a user friendly, accessible product.

Designer lighting products are generally expensive, fragile and designed to be permanently installed by a qualified electrician.

As a person who likes minimal and flexible living spaces, Kristian Aus – Autumn’s principal designer – sets out to design a shade that was fun, easy to install and inexpensive. He also wanted to design a product that could be manufactured locally without expensive processes or investment.

Tyvek is a paper-like material made from plastic fibres typically used in the construction and medical industries. It has heat and water resistant properties and can be coloured very easily. Tyvek is the major material used in the Shapely Pendant Shades. This material creates a wonderful texture when dyed and illuminated.

This family of lights is made up of 6 shapes and 6 colours. The designs are deliberately minimal, but allow for up to 36 possible variations if desired. Each shade can be attached by the user to any existing bare pendant fitting. They can be rolled up and shipped easily due to their ultra light weight.
