About Us

Fabric Of Life

At James Dunlop Textiles we are interested in different ways of living. We’re constantly exploring what fabric can bring to people’s lives. We view the world through a uniquely Australasian lens, so in designing and curating our collections we look both outwards and inwards.

Founded in 1907 in the bustling port of Dunedin, New Zealand, the fourth generation Dunlop family maintains a strong focus on fabrics that are relevant to today. Our textiles are consciously designed to perform and look great.

Accessories | Lampshades

Lampshades first appeared in the late 17th century when public lanterns – oil lamps with reflectors and several wicks – were installed in the centre of streets. Industrialisation in the 19th century led to gas lighting becoming the norm, however, there were many drawbacks and in 1879 Thomas Edison developed the incandescent electric lightbulb.

This invention paved the way for lamps and shades as we know them today; not only as a stylish decorative addition to an interior, but an effective means of defining and highlighting task areas in residential and commercial spaces.
