Spanish designer and craftsman Alvaro Picardo has created a collection of hand-painted lampshades inspired by Josef Frank's classic designs and colours. Constantly influenced by his Catalan and Spanish roots, together with his love of modern art and brutalist architecture, he started painting lampshades with the aim of giving new life to otherwise forgotten objects, creating bespoke interior-design pieces. Through daring, colourful and hand-painted lampshades he aims to provide a distinctive feeling to any space or room, enhancing its atmosphere by adding an individual work.
