Our Story

Lighting the future with stories from the past

Sarah has always had a passion for craft and design, driven by a determination to rescue and reimagine pieces that might otherwise end up in landfill. Kirsty, equally a skilled creator, brings a meticulous eye for detail and a deep love of vintage style.

Living opposite each other, it didn’t take long to discover their shared joy of creativity and design. What began as a mutual passion soon grew into a collaboration — and Histerior was born.

Our name is a play on “history” and “interiors,” reflecting our love of breathing new life into the past. It’s also a cheeky nod to a word historically used to diminish women — one we’re proudly reclaiming. For us, Histerior speaks to passion, enthusiasm, and creative drive.

Together, we design and craft distinctive lighting — handmade lampshades and repurposed bases — that honour the character of vintage materials while embracing a more sustainable future. Each piece tells a story, thoughtfully reimagined for modern interiors.

Clients

We’re happy to work with you on reimaging your existing lampshade as well as being able to source vintage frames and pair with new fabric to create a stunning and unique piece for your home.

What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead.

What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
