Custom Lampshades, Pendant Light Fixtures, and Retro Modern Lamps

Meteor Lights designs and fabricates custom fiberglass drum lampshades, mod acrylic lamp bases , and modern pendant light fixtures in retro, atomic, and mid-century modern styles. Our drum and tiered lampshades also look great with tiki, vintage western, and Danish Modern styles, to accommodate your Eames-era and contemporary residential and commercial lighting needs. We offer a wide selection of retro and contemporary lampshade styles, colors, and designs -- providing a nearly infinite range of lighting possibilities.

Our shade material is the same fiberglass and resin parchment used on lampshades in the forties and fifties. We hand-stain our lampshades to achieve a rich selection of colors. We take pride in fabricating the coolest, finest quality replacement drum lampshades available.


We offer over forty basic retro-modern lampshade styles (shapes). We specialize in the low-profile drum and tiered lampshades characteristic of mid-century/modern lighting of the 1940s and 1950s. Within certain parameters, the height of our drum lampshades can be customized to most lamps.


We also fabricate custom lampshades, such as the Majestic Z-Lamp tambourine shade with the classic zig-zag design, and the Danish Modern floor lamp inverted cone lampshade.



In addition to our replacement fiberglass lampshades, we incorporate our lampshade material into our custom-made swag lamps (hanging lamps), custom pendant light fixtures, sconce shields, and our own line of mod acrylic lamp bases. We can help design your retro-themed lighting project, or we can fabricate custom lampshades and light fixtures to your specs.
