In a crowded room, cubic nightshades kindle an atmosphere of stylish simplicity. Even the dimmest bulbs will refract around the room, giving off a peaceful underwater ambiance.

Who needs dull, sterile cloth shades when you can have [glowing geo-shades with a minimalist charm](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impulse-wall-light)? The [glass shade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloom-wall-light) allows a view into the soft lightbulb that contrasts with the shards of light cast around the room.

Score + Solder's recent line of cubic nightshades comes in a variety of colors including clear, simple glass, misty lilac, deep blue, pink blush and deep purple iridescent. The exquisite cubic shades are handcrafted on a farm in Pemberton, British Columbia by a single set of hands: Score + Solder founder Matthew Cleland. The organic origin of these cubic nightshades is reflected in their own effortlessly natural aesthetic.
