“This collection features some of our most popular designs from the past few years. Some are in the original colors and others have been reinterpreted in fresh new color ways that are only available in this collection,” explains Thomas Paul. “One of the advantages of working with Lamps Plus is the fact that all of the shades are printed on demand. I like this model because it allows us to experiment more in terms of color and design, to match virtually anything a customer may request.”

Each Seedling by thomaspaul design is handcrafted using Lamps Plus’ patented giclée printing process, in which lamp shades are made to-order in California using archival quality fine art inks. The shades are then hand-finished and affixed to a lamp or fixture of the customer’s choice. With Lamps Plus’ Design Your Own feature, customers can also personalize their Seedling by thomaspaul designs by specifying their own custom combinations of colors and fixtures.

“Thomas Paul is among the most respected home decor designers today.
