Handmade in the Cotswolds
Each Sleepy Cats Lampshade is made by hand in Ceridwen’s small Cotswold studio. This design celebrates life’s unhurried moments — a tribute to the gentle rhythm of home and the soft peace of a sleeping cat.
“I wanted to capture the kind of stillness only a sleeping cat can teach us, the way they melt into the space available. This lampshade is an ode to those moments when I feel the desire to fill my home with cats.”
— Ceridwen Hazelchild, Illustrator, Designer & Maker
