Custom Lampshades | Barbie Movie – Ken’s Flat Lighting

For Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie, we were asked to create a series of bespoke lampshades for Ken’s flat — including a standout design made from a specially commissioned horse-print fabric. The fabric artwork was sent directly to us, where we built the correct size frame, powder-coated it to match, and carefully transformed it into a finished shade before returning it straight to set.

This project highlights the precision and speed required in film set lighting design, as well as the flexibility of our workshop to turn unusual materials into fully finished lampshades on a tight production schedule. The result: playful, character-driven lighting that captured the distinctive look and feel of Ken’s world.
