Our Story
Hum London is a creative studio specialising in decorative lighting.
What began in 2020 with a small edit of hand‑painted lampshades has grown into a broader exploration of lighting and table lamps, with everything in our collection being made in England.
Founded by two sisters, Hermione and Ellie Gee, our passion lies in designing and making lighting that is soulful and atmospheric. Lampshades that look beautiful from afar, and become even more special up close - whether that might be the delicate pinholes in our perforated lampshades that glow when lit, or the way the paintbrush leaves subtle texture on our hand-painted designs.
Our ethos & how we make
Our design principles are rooted in natural materials and traditional craft.
We’re proud to work solely with British based workshops and artisans to bring our collections to life. The opposite of mass production - we’re producing in small batches or on a made to order basis, allowing us to honour/support traditional skills, and keep quality at the heart of what we do. From the materials we use to make our pieces, to the way we package them before sending to new homes, we take a lot of care to reduce our environmental impact. Recently, we’re particularly pleased that even the brass parts used for the Orb Lamp are sourced and made locally and not imported.
Bespoke lighting
Our lampshades are suitable for a variety of fittings, from wall lights and table lamps to pendants, and can be custom-made in different shapes and sizes. We also offer a bespoke design service — often a collaborative process, this could involve anything from one-off designs to simple adaptations of our core collection, such as painting a shade in a bespoke colour.
