GP&J Baker and Pooky are thrilled to launch their second collaboration. A capsule collection of four new lampshades designed featuring both iconic and previously unseen prints from the GP&J Baker archive.
Blending Pooky’s accessible, design-led lighting with GP&J Baker’s rich textile heritage, this follow-up to their successful first collection brings fresh energy to historic patterns dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. While exploring the brand’s vast archive, the Pooky team uncovered rare designs that have never appeared in fabric or wallpaper - until now.
available in a range of striking colourways, each shade captures the elegance, character, and timeless appe al of British decorative design.
