At Oriental Lamp Shade Co., lampshades are given their due respect. The company sells both mass-manufactured and customized lampshades, along with an impressive selection of tabletop and hanging lamps. Founded by Japanese immigrants in 1920, the third-generation shop caters to local clientele seeking standard shade replacements and custom orders using fabrics from the customer or the store's in-house selection. While shades are the specialty, Oriental's lamps are an added draw, with styles leaning toward funky and retro, grouped by color or material such as chrome, wood, and jade green. About half of the lamps are custom creations. The company also offers rewiring services and has a sister store on 79th Street that sells more traditional lighting but provides the same lampshade selection.
