Lighting Designer, That Shady Guy

Keith Woodward: Master of Craft and Colour at That Shady Guy

Keith Woodward, the dedicated owner and maker behind That Shady Guy, has turned a lifelong passion for meticulous craftsmanship and vibrant design into a flourishing artisanal lampshade business. With a keen eye for colour, shape, and texture, Keith creates bespoke pieces that transform spaces, bringing warmth and personality to homes and businesses alike.

Drawing inspiration from the simplicity of nature, the shopping habits of his wife's quest for the perfect skirt, and the raw potential of everyday materials, Keith's work is a testament to his belief that beauty can be found everywhere. Whether it's a serene walk through sunlit fields or a stack of wire waiting to be shaped, every experience fuels his creative process.

At That Shady Guy, Keith doesn't just make lampshades; he crafts lighting solutions that are both functional and artful. His creations play with the interplay of wool and silk, marrying durability with an aesthetic flair that delights the senses. Each piece is a labor of love, meticulously constructed to meet his exacting standards of quality and design.

Keith's collaborative spirit sets him apart in the world of interior design. He thrives on partnerships with fellow designers, blending his unique perspective with their visions to create pieces that perfectly complement their projects. This synergy not only enhances his work but also ensures that every lampshade is a harmonious addition to its new home.

For Keith, the joy of making is in the details—it's about more than just good design; it's about creating pieces that make people happy. His lampshades are not mere objects; they are vibrant expressions of joy and creativity, designed to bring light and life into any space.

Keith Woodward's That Shady Guy is a beacon of artistic integrity and joyful innovation, a place where every lampshade is crafted with care, creativity, and a deep-seated love for the art of making.
