Solutions For All Commercial And Residential Needs

Established in 1972, Sue Johnson Lamps & Shades is a renowned artisanal lighting company based in Berkeley, California. For over 40 years, our talented team of artisans, led by Sue Johnson, has been dedicated to creating extraordinary handcrafted lamps and lamp shades that inspire and illuminate homes around the world.

Innovative Lamp Design

Our unique approach to lamp design is what sets us apart. We have developed our own techniques for mounting and displaying an array of artful objects, including wooden bases crafted by Bill Jabas and Hank Schmutz. From trombones to railroad cars, we transform ordinary objects into extraordinary table lamps and floor lamps. Our creative team also sources antique and contemporary art pieces, including glass, pottery, and metalwork, to create one-of-a-kind lamps.

Lamp Shade Materials

In addition to our innovative lamp designs, we're renowned for our exquisite lamp shades. Our collection boasts a wide range of materials, including amber, white, and green micas, as well as hand-toned and textured parchment papers, antique embroidery, hand-printed wallpaper, and diverse ethnic textiles. We can also custom-design lamp shades using your special fabrics and papers.

Wall Sconces and Ceiling Shades

Our selection of unusual ceiling shades and wall sconces provides dramatic accents and warm, indirect lighting for entries, hallways, and stairwells. These designs complement a wide range of decorative styles, making them perfect for Craftsman bungalows, Asian-inspired townhouses, and Sierra A-frames.
