In 2024, Dannells has introduced three innovative lampshade-making products under the Dannells and Needcraft brands. Emphasising current trends in the domestic lighting sector, our new offerings include expanded sizes for the Conical Lampshade Making Kit, and the introduction of Scalloped Edge Lampshade Panels and Scalloped Ring sets. These products enable our network of 1,500 professional lampshade makers to craft unique, bespoke, and trend led lampshades, to align with those available in the retail market.
By closely following interior design trends and considering feedback from our professional lampshade makers, we expanded the Needcraft Conical Lampshade Making Kits in early 2024. The extension includes two new sizes: a smaller 25cm diameter shade and an oversized 50cm shade, both of which have received highly positive customer feedback.
Furthermore, our technical and product development teams have drawn on their industry knowledge to design the Dannells Scalloped Edge Panel. This panel, featuring a gracefully undulating scalloped edge, is available in four sizes, making it suitable for wall lights, pendant lights, or table lamps and which can be made in either fabrics or paper, making it both versatile and creative.
Our latest product, the Dannells Scalloped Lampshade Ringset which was launched in March, also embraces the popular scalloped trend with its highly decorative design and therefore allows for the creation of uniquely shaped lampshades. To ensure that making a scalloped lampshade is as accessible and straightforward as our other lampshade making products, we have developed a precision-creased, professional-grade Stick It® Self-Adhesive panel to accompany the ring set, guaranteeing a professional quality finish every time.
Alongside our commitment to providing innovative products for professional lampshade makers, we have developed Manufacturers Packs and bulk buy options. These options ensure lower material costs and higher profit margins, making each handmade lampshade an economically sustainable choice for our small business owners, in turn helping to grow their businesses and reach new audiences.
