In celebration of Bonadea's inaugural La Sobremesa, a tribute to Spanish craftsmanship, Bonadea introduces one-of-a-kind homeware and objets d'art.
This candle shade has been handpainted in the UK by Spanish artist Alvaro Picardo. Alvaro first launched his candle shade collection with AB Design and Interiors. For La Sobremesa, Alvaro has designed alongside Gloria Gonzalez two exclusive designs, Fajalauza and Pilatos. These designs have tiny pierced holes that emit light from the shade giving the effect of jewel-like crystals.
The Pilatos design comes in 4 colours. This candle shade also includes a brass shade carrier.
We recommend using LED candles with our candle shades. For full safety instructions please read our 'Details' section.

Handcrafted in the UK. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS We recommend using LED candles for carefree gatherings. Use only the recommended candles (these are straight sided and contain the correct proportion of stearine). Above all never leave burning candles unattended, particularly when there are children present. With card shades we can only recommend the use of the carriers suplied as this will guarantee the correct fit. Fitting Notes: All other shades should rest on the tapered part of the carrier in order to prevent the shade tilting and thus getting too near the candle flame. ALWAYS ensure that the candle holder has a hole which is deep enough to hold the candle vertical and secure. ALWAYS use the correct candles. Price’s 10″ Sherwood Candles (min. 10% stearine: paraffin wax). DO NOT use tapered candles. ALWAYS scoop out any hard wax from inside the carrier before re-use. NEVER twist to remove. NEVER let any candle burn below a minimum length of 4 in (10 cm) from the base of the candle. Should the carrier become stuck to the candle, merely relight the stub of the candle and when the brass is heated through it can be easily be lifted off. Shades are flame resistant but NOT flameproof! |
Born in the artistic heart of Barcelona, Alvaro Picardo has always had a passion for transforming simple materials into works of art. His journey took a pivotal turn when he moved to London in 1993, where he immersed himself in the city's vibrant and eclectic visual culture. This fusion of his Spanish roots and British influences culminated in 2020 with the creation of his exquisite hand-painted lampshade series.
Picardo’s designs are a harmonious blend of his rich Spanish heritage and his keen appreciation for British aesthetics. Drawing inspiration from brutalism, modern architecture, abstract and Modern British Art, and the dynamic world of interior design, each lampshade is a unique piece that tells a story.
His exclusive collection for Bonadea, crafted for our inaugural La Sobremesa event, is a testament to Spanish craftsmanship. Each lampshade in this collection embodies Picardo’s dedication to artistry and his ability to turn everyday objects into extraordinary pieces of beauty.
