Rosi de Ruig

Inspired by her love of beautiful paper and disappointed by the shortage of interesting shades on the market, Rosi de Ruig began crafting her own lampshades from her kitchen table. In 2015, she launched her eponymous London studio and has since become one of the most recognised voices in decorative lighting. She’s celebrated for her bold marbled patterns, rich colours, commitment to craftsmanship, and her collaborations with paper artists around the world.
