Helen Rawlinson is a textiles designer based at the Chocolate Factory Studios in London. Over the last decade her printed lampshades have popped up in homes all over the UK. Her work incorporates illustration, print and machine embroidery.

Helen’s lampshades are perforated with machine stitching to reveal an illumination of tiny pinpricks when lit. I love the use of coffee, pistachio and muted pink against matt cream backgrounds.

And in addition to the lampshades Helen does a good line in bags, purses and screenprint patches.
