A special lampshade collection for the Zafferano Poldina Pro Rechargeable Lamp


Fermoie is delighted to be working with leading Italian interiors house Zafferano to produce a special capsule lampshade collection for the iconic Poldina Pro cordless lamp.


For the new collection, Fermoie is creating petite versions of its hand-gathered lampshades to fit over the fixed Poldina shade. The selected designs are Popple, a small pattern of waves made up of tiny ripples, curves and texture inspired by ancient mosaics, and Wicker, a lattice design reminiscent of basketwork. Both designs are offered in five colourways from the Fermoie palette.


Like all Fermoie lampshades, the new editions are entirely handmade in the company’s workshops in Wiltshire, England. They’re made from lightweight 100% sheer linen, with an off-white cotton balloon lining and tonal coloured borders top and bottom.

Made in cast aluminium, the Poldina Pro cordless lamp has taken America by storm, with Oprah Winfrey and Martha Stewart among its celebrity enthusiasts. Available in bright, bold colours including Sand, Dark Green, White and Sage, as well as polished Silver and Gold finishes, the Poldina Pro provides over nine hours of cordless illumination, with a ‘one tap and it’s on’ and touch-dimming functions. Charging is via a neat induction charging pad.


“We’ve long been admirers of Zafferano; fellow designers, with a shared commitment to creating timeless designs that are easy to live with and bring joy to any home. The Poldina Pro cordless lamp is already a modern classic. Beautifully minimal, its simple, elegant lines are the perfect complement to our hand-drawn, textural fabrics, allowing their complexity and colours to express themselves fully. We’re thrilled to be working with the team at Zafferano and bringing this wonderful product, already well-known in the US and Italy, to our customers in the UK.” Jamie Shawcross, Director Fermoie
