Tryphon: Illuminating Artistry in Every Shade



Nestled in the heart of Paris, Tryphon is not just an atelier; it is a sanctuary where light and color dance in harmony. Each abat-jour (lampshade) crafted here is a testament to the atelier’s philosophy: basic yet chic, quirky yet retro, and never conventional.


The Art of Light and Color


At Tryphon, the creation of each lampshade is a meticulous process, driven by a passion for materials and their interplay with light. The atelier’s founder believes in the therapeutic power of colors and light, using them to evoke emotions and create atmospheres that soothe the soul.


The use of marbled papers, kraft, cottons, silks, raffia, and thread ensures that each piece is unique, reflecting the mood and inspiration of the moment.


At Tryphon, the use of color is both an art and a science, with combinations carefully chosen to evoke specific moods and atmospheres.

Colors are chosen with care, each hue selected for its ability to transform a space. From the calming blues and greens that bring tranquility to the vibrant reds and oranges that energize, every shade has a purpose.


Here are some popular color combinations that you might find:


Soft Blues and Greens: These colors are often used together to create a calming and serene environment. Perfect for spaces meant for relaxation or meditation.


Vibrant Reds and Oranges: These energetic colors are paired to invigorate and inspire creativity. They are ideal for workspaces or areas where you want to feel motivated and active.


Elegant Blacks and Golds: This classic combination exudes sophistication and luxury. It’s often used in more formal settings or to add a touch of glamour to a room.


Warm Earth Tones: Shades of brown, beige, and terracotta are combined to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. These colors are great for living rooms or bedrooms where comfort is key.


Pastels and Whites: Soft pastel colors paired with white can make a space feel light, airy, and fresh. This combination is perfect for nurseries or any room where you want a gentle, soothing vibe.


Bold Contrasts: Sometimes, contrasting colors like navy and mustard or teal and coral are used to make a bold statement. These combinations can add a dynamic and modern touch to any space.


Each of these combinations is chosen not just for their aesthetic appeal but also for their ability to influence the mood and feel of a room. At Tryphon, the interplay of colors and light is designed to create environments that are both beautiful and therapeutic.


Handcrafted Elegance


Every lampshade at Tryphon is crafted by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are alike. The structures are made in France, supporting local craftsmanship and ensuring the highest quality. The textiles evolve with the seasons, resulting in small series or unique pieces that are sold in the boutique.


The process is deeply personal. Each lampshade is a labor of love, from the initial concept to the final stitch. This dedication to craftsmanship is evident in the finished product, which exudes a sense of elegance and individuality.


Therapeutic Light


The therapeutic use of light is at the core of Tryphon’s creations. The atelier understands that light is not just a functional element but a powerful tool for enhancing well-being. Soft, diffused light can create a calming environment, perfect for relaxation and meditation. In contrast, brighter, more focused light can invigorate and inspire creativity.


By carefully selecting materials and colors, Tryphon’s lampshades transform ordinary spaces into sanctuaries of peace and inspiration. The interplay of light and shadow, the subtle variations in color, all contribute to a sense of harmony and balance.


Custom Creations


Tryphon also offers bespoke services, creating custom lampshades tailored to individual preferences. Whether it’s a specific color scheme, a particular material, or a unique design, the atelier works closely with clients to bring their vision to life.


In a world where mass production often overshadows individuality, Tryphon stands as a beacon of creativity and craftsmanship. Each lampshade is more than just a source of light; it is a piece of art, a reflection of the atelier’s commitment to beauty, quality, and the therapeutic power of light and color.
