Tom Acciarini, from the Research and Development Team at Iberian Lighting, designed a lampshade that marries the beauty of nature with the sophistication of modern design. The Geode Diffuser Lampshade Collection is not just a lighting product; it is a testament to the power of light and colour in transforming our living spaces and emotional well-being.
The Design Journey
Tom Acciarini's design process is a journey that begins with a deep appreciation for nature. Inspired by the beauty of geode crystals and landscapes in Sussex, Tom embarked on a meticulous process to bring these natural wonders into our homes.
1. Inspiration Sources: Tom draws inspiration from the mesmerising beauty of geode crystals. The striking contrast between the sleek black exterior and the vibrant interior mimics the surprising reveal of a geode's crystalline core.

Another inspiration is the diverse landscapes of East Sussex - from the rolling hills of the South Downs to the dramatic coastlines. Tom studies the play of light in nature, observing how sunlight filters through leaves or reflects off the sea.
2. Material Selection: The choice of materials is crucial to the lampshades' aesthetic and functional success. Tom selected luxurious black silk for the exterior, creating a sleek, modern look that contrasts beautifully with the vibrant silk lining. This combination allows for a stunning interplay of light and shadow.
3. Crafting Techniques: Each lampshade is handcrafted with precision. This involves carefully layering and manipulating the silk to achieve the desired effect for the lining and diffuser.
