Partners Ronald Scinto and Mark Candido created a booming antique business in Stamford, Connecticut with The Antique and Artisan Center at 69 Jefferson Street that includes their Accessory Store that carries handmade lampshades and accessories for home. Now on the New York scene, they bring their super stylish Illume shade shop and workshop to the design district on 58th Street. Hand created, in - stock shades of every style and shape grace the walls. If you don't see what you need, they will create it for you. Bring your lamps in to find the perfect match or they will work with you from afar. Stop in at 223 East 58th Street for a visit.

THE WORKSHOP
With the closing of Pell Artifex, it is nice to know there is a new place to take your lamps for repair or to create something from scratch. Take a vase to make it into a lamp, get a piece rewired or completely overhauled. The old timey workshop next door to Illume will become your go to.

Amazing! Getting just the right shade is not a simple walk in the park. It's the shade that makes the lamp. I wish we had something like this shop in Los Angeles. Thanks. Mary
Heather, you will be awe struck!
Mary, so true, it is an art--they ship!
