Deze koelie-tint is met de hand geschilderd door mij en is geïnspireerd op de prachtig eclectische interieurs van de Bloomsbury-groep, zoals Charleston Farmhouse, de thuisbasis van Vanessa Bell en Duncan Grant. Deze is geïnspireerd op een beschilderd paneel van Bell, met als bloemmotieven witte klokbloemen en blauwe grasvormen. Het kleurenpalet is warm bruin, roze-violet, blauwgroen en wit. De vorm van de kap is koelie-stijl en geschikt voor hang- of lampvoetfittingen. De kap is ook verstelbaar, zodat u de kap kunt kantelen om te lezen of te werken. De kap is geverfd met kleurvaste textielverf, die bij verlichting een warme sfeer geeft die past in de meeste interieurs. Het grotere formaat meet 9 cm bovendiameter x 30 cm onderdiameter en 19 cm hoog. Het kleinere formaat heeft een basisdiameter van 22 cm. Zie foto's. Groter formaat is de eerste die een meer open koelievorm vertoont. Deze kap is ook verkrijgbaar in een groter formaat van 35 cm basisbreedte. Vraag om meer details of, als u er een voor u wilt laten maken in een ander kleurenschema; dat kan geregeld worden tegen een redelijke meerprijs.

Life In Squares was partly filmed at Charleston (the first time permission has been granted for a drama), and using actual settings in the garden and house has added a veracity that perfectly evokes the creative pulse that still runs through the place.
