About Us

 

Our Story

Founded by Steve in 2015, Vintage Electrical began with the restoration of original Coolicon and RLM lampshades, the designs that would later inspire our much loved Cawston and Filby collections.

Working as a qualified electrician, Steve regularly removed hundreds of industrial lampshades from warehouses and factories. Rather than allowing these characterful pieces to be discarded, he spent his spare time carefully restoring and reselling them.

What began as a passion project soon developed into something much bigger. Steve left his established career to create Vintage Electrical, manufacturing new lampshades inspired by the genuine industrial designs he had once restored. Over the years, the collections have evolved to include new shapes, sizes, finishes and styles, while retaining the timeless character of the originals.

Today, Vintage Electrical supplies distinctive lighting, furniture and interior décor to customers around the world. Our products have been selected for homes, businesses and creative projects, with clients including Ralph Lauren, Warner Bros and many more.

From our base in Norfolk, United Kingdom, we stock and distribute a wide range of products, with many available for next day dispatch.

At its heart, Vintage Electrical is about a love of living well. Since the beginning, Steve’s mission has been to create and source beautiful, characterful pieces that make homes feel more personal and time spent with friends and family more memorable.

We believe that living beautifully is not simply about how a space looks, but how it makes you feel. Our mission is to bring unique, handcrafted and thoughtfully designed pieces to homes and spaces around the world, items made to be enjoyed, remembered and treasured for years to come.
