Company Summary

We will transform the stagnant lampshade category, changing shades from functional afterthoughts to personalized home décor statements printed with ANY image: graphics, photos, your kids’ artwork, anything at all. Simple Shades will start with online sales of consumer-customized and pre-designed lampshades which will build the foundation of a larger specialty and mass market entity. Moms, tweens, and college dorm-dwellers will be main customers.
