Where there is light, you are likely to find Cecilia McGuires's custom lampshades. Made of woven paper, fabric or hand cut, hand-painted paper, they are so innovative and fresh that top designers and manufacturers alike want them. "Her craftsmanship is absolutely the very best”, says designer Orlando Diaz-Azcuy. "She's very creative when it comes to experimenting with new shapes." Taos craft paper is combined with handpainted gold paper to create a two color interwoven shade suitable for both city and country settings. Hand shaped bark paper is stretched over square frames to create a smart look using this soothing subtle texture. FOB Vermont.
