Ep 93: Ivy Karlsgodt - Vintage-Inspired Lampshade Maker

Ivy Karlsgodt specializes in creating handmade, hand stitched, vintage-inspired lampshades that are works of art. What started as a hobby is now her full-time, Brooklyn-based business, with happy customers, over a million followers on her social media channels, and well over 10 million views of her content. You might have even spotted her work in the set design for Stevie Nicks’ recent concert tour!

Ivy’s background is in the costume fabrication field and she began her career cutting and sewing custom costumes as well as tailoring for broadway, film and television. When productions shut down during the global COVID pandemic she found herself with time on her hands and began experimenting with making a lampshade for her home. It was a hit!

On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with Ivy about how she got started making lampshades, the development of her unique design style, and the meant-to-be inclusion of her lampshades in Stevie Nicks’ concert stage design.
