Chloe Jonason & Co x Laura E Jekyll
LIMITED EDITION LIGHT COLLECTION
TWO MAKERS, TWO CRAFTS
ONE COLLECTION
Born from a shared love of craft and character, this collaboration between Laura E Jekyll and Chloe Jonason brings together two crafts, hand-painted bases and vintage sari lampshades, to celebrate the beauty of things made slowly.
Each of these six lamps has been shaped by hand, combining colour, texture, and story to create lighting that feels timeless, human, and one of a kind.

How did this collaboration come about, and how is working together different from working alone?
Chloe: We’d admired each other’s work for a while, and light felt like the natural meeting point. I brought the fabrics - their colour, history, and texture - and Laura brought a painter’s eye and the kind of bespoke detail that only comes from something painted by hand. Together, the lamps became something neither of us could have made alone.
Laura: The starting point was always the sari fabric. Chloe cleverly found textiles that were warm and characterful, but also relatively gentle, so the colours and patterns lent themselves naturally a decorative base. Once we'd found our sari, everything else flowed from this anchor. I worked with a woodturner in Lincolnshire who helped us design a number of different shapes for the lamp and we settled on this elegant, almost architectural base.
What excites you most about bringing your craft together with someone else’s?
Laura: What excites me is seeing the piece through someone else’s perspective. Chloe’s approach to fabric makes me look at colour and form differently, and it pushes me to respond in new ways. That’s what keeps the process fresh.
Chloe: Handmade pieces carry history and story. When I work with vintage saris, I’m reimagining fabric that’s already lived another life, giving it a new chapter in someone’s home. Each piece carries a sense of timelessness and care, rooted in tradition, made personal, and full of character.”
If you had to describe the collection in three words, what would they be?
Chloe: Gentle, sculptural, timeless.
Laura: Refined, storied, crafted.
What do you hope these lamps make people feel?
Chloe: I hope these lamps make people feel how much love and care has gone into their lamp. That it isn’t just functional, it’s a treasure. Something they can enjoy every day now, and maybe even hand down in the future.
Laura: A good lamp can really bring a space together. It’s a small item, so you can be quite playful with it - in colour, in shape, in pattern - and it still makes a big impact. I want these lamps to make people feel like they’ve brought something soulful into their home. A lamp that’s as much about feeling as it is about light.
