We now stock PLUMEN designer low engergy light bulbs

How great are these? We thought they are the perfect accompaniment to our lampshades. These bulbs are low energy but sooo cool! They fit all Australian light fittings and are $38 each for 8000hrs of light!

Puzzling ornaments - festive entertainment

I have to admit being inspired by my younger sister. She was well known for being very honest and sweet at the same time. To her, Christmas cards were boring and presents were exciting so why not stop people getting bored with the card by adding a game or two inside! The kind of thing she would do is create an anagram of your name, a dot to dot or a word search inside a Christmas card to make them more interesting and prevent boredom setting in while you wait for the presents.

So, we now offer our Christmas ornaments presented as a puzzle! We give you some clues on the back of the card as it is very tricky. Creating the design this way also means we minimize waste while providing you with entertainment and some beautiful ornaments for your tree. Why not create a festive mobile using a couple of old branches?

There are 14 designs altogether created out of a 20cm square and they fit perfectly with our large jewellery tree as a space saving alternative to the full Christmas tree.

Puzzling ornaments on our jewellery tree.  A perfectly postable present.

We're in the new Print and Pattern book!

New Future Shelter Baby

For those not on Facebook who have been wondering why it has been a bit quiet on the blog recently, here is a photo of our newborn baby Ben Coffey, the youngest member of the Future Shelter team! Pictured wearing a lovely little baby suit purchased at the Perth Upmarket from Pixie Kids.

A few photos of the document case in production

Here are a few workshop photos of our document case that we designed exclusively for the CHOGM commonwealth leaders. We printed the Fraser Avenue design with eco-friendly water based inks onto linen/cotton for the inside and used an industrial fabric for the outside. Screen printing and laser cutting of the fabric, padding and labels was all completed in our workshop in North Perth. Sampling and final stitching was also wholly made in Perth. Final photos to come soon... delay due to new baby in the family!

A giant wall of Lampshades....

If you haven't been in the store for a while you may not have seen our full collection of lampshades. We have a catalogue of designs in store. We have 4 sizes available and can also create custom colourways. If we don't have it in stock it takes 2 weeks to make a shade to order... all printed and made in Perth... what could be better :)

We also have a small range of refurbished lampbases and our own range of woodturned lampbases. If you are looking for a tall standard lamp they are hard to find and so they sell very quickly. We usually have at least one or two in store.
