About Alvaro Picardo

Constantly inspired by his Catalan and Spanish roots, together with his love of modern art and brutalist architecture, Spanish designer and craftsman Alvaro Picardo started painting lampshades with the aim of giving new life to otherwise forgotten objects, creating bespoke interior-design pieces. Through daring, colourful and hand-painted lampshades he aims to provide a distinctive feeling to any space or room, enhancing its atmosphere by adding an individual work. Each lampshade is unique: a tribute to the spirit of craftsmanship, which lies behind its particular finish, with traces of the artist’s personal handiwork visible in the finished product.

Alvaro’s work is featured in World of Interiors, House&Garden, Elle Deco.. as he is constantly working with London’s leading interior design studios like Sybil Colefax, Jonathan Reed,  Buchanan Studio, Max Rollit or Douglas Mackie, to name just a few.

His most recent project is a collection of hand-painted lampshades for iconic Swedish shop Svenskt Tenn
