RUGGLESTONE Lampshade, Oak Bark Veg-Tanned Devon Leather
Each lampshade is hand made to order. The leather is cut from one hide. The edges are burnished to a high gloss and then joined, using a linen thread in a traditional ladder stitch, with copper thread added for textile interest. The copper thread is repurposed from electrical cable, saved from landfill, twisted through the linen thread and silver soldered as required.
The rich, supple, oak bark, veg-tanned leather is from a tannery in Devon. The leather's tanning process can take upto 14 months for the hide to be ready to be turned into luxury goods. Offering the the best veg tanned leather in the world, this tannery is the last one in Europe to use oak bark vegetation in its tanning process. The sustainable oak bark comes from managed forests in Norther England, taken from coppiced trees.
The leather’s patina will change over time, ageing and darkening beautifully. The lampshade frame is hand painted copper metal.
