About
Ceau Store [So Store] was established in 2020 by Emily Hendy and was born out of a desire for something she could not find at the time in the UK, “a pleated lampshade”.
Over time it has evolved into a celebration of Emily’s love of the artisanal process; form, texture, pattern, colour and how that relates to and enriches our homes and lives.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Ceau Store lampshades have been featured in publications such as Elle Decoration, The Sunday Telegraph Lifestyle and Sheerluxe. Emily also collaborated with Trouva on an exclusive limited collection that sold out on the launch day.
Favoured by tastemakers and interior designers, along with residential projects Ceau Store’s lampshades have been included in large scale commercial projects such as the Hoxton Hotel in Barcelona, Palm Heights Grand Cayman and the Space London Offices.
With Ceau Store Emily strives to create elevated lighting to inspire and bring joy.
CRAFTMANSHIP
Each Ceau Store lampshade is meticulously hand made to order by Emily.
The unique crafted process of the lampshades allows for the use of exceptional materials. All the materials used to create a Ceau Store Lampshade are carefully considered, and all come from other small businesses. The lampshade backing is a beautiful thick card, chosen because it’s more sustainable than the alternative plastic but also because it gives an intrinsic beauty and tactility that you don’t get from plastic. The fabric is all natural- soft Oeko-Tex Linens and handwoven cottons. These choices add to the design of the lampshades, they are part of what makes them beautiful.
SUSTAINABILITY
With an ethos rooted in respecting the environment, each Ceau Store product is designed and made always with a focus on environmentally sustainable materials and practices.
When choosing material suppliers, their approach to sustainability and production practices is paramount.
Ceau Store strives to create beautiful sustainable lighting to be cherished.
“Little nuances and details can make all the difference and I love paying attention to that. For example, the shadow that comes from the pleated lampshade when lit is really pleasing and unexpected. Those little details that come from creation is a really lovely thing to pay attention to. It may not be immediately evident but I think you can see these intricacies - the care, the thought, comes through in the final outcome”
