Thumprints

Thumprints began with one designer, Allison Davis, making lamps in her basement from found objects, local pottery and shades she covered by hand. Today the studio pairs art glass, ceramic, natural stone, wood and metal with tailored shades, and draws sculptural LED chandeliers in rings, ribbons and tiers of light.

As distinctive as a thumbprint

Allison Davis started Thumprints in 2002, turning a basement workshop in Little Rock into a wholesale studio within the year. Her first lamps combined pottery from a local potter with shades she covered in unusual materials, and that instinct for pairing a strong base with a considered shade still runs through the line.

In 2014 the studio moved to a lighting campus outside Chicago, where its collections are developed and shipped today. The materials stayed: sustainable wood, ceramic, art glass, natural stone, metal and fine shade fabrics, now joined by integrated LED chandeliers that read as sculpture by day.

The studio shows each season at the High Point and Dallas furniture markets, where designers come to see the new collections first.

About Thumprints

Thumprints is an American lighting studio with a maker’s heart. Founded by designer Allison Davis in 2002, it built its name on lamps where the base is a small piece of craft, art glass, glazed ceramic or natural stone, and the shade is chosen as carefully as the body. Its integrated LED chandeliers carry the same idea into light itself: rings, ribbons and stacked frames that read as sculpture.

Questions About Thumprints

Who founded Thumprints?

Designer Allison Davis founded Thumprints in 2002 in Little Rock, Arkansas, after making her first lamps at home from found objects, local pottery and hand-covered shades.

The line mixes art glass, glazed ceramic, natural stone such as travertine and granite, wood, bamboo, mother of pearl and cast metal, finished by hand and paired with linen, silk or mesh shades.
