This is our story
And it all started with a lockdown lamp...
The Studio Badger was founded by me, Jon Edwards, with the help of my wife Vardeep Edwards, aka The Branding Fox. Vardeep's expertise in digital media and branding has been integral to converting The Studio Badger from a dream into reality.
My interest in authentic and sometimes strange mid-century lamps and lighting was sparked by the purchase of a lockdown lamp.
Buying, cleaning and restoring lamps became my lockdown hobby and I have not stopped since, acquiring the stock you see on our website over the past 18 months. I trained as an actor many moons ago and have spent 20 years in publishing, so always loved design and drama. Having grown up in a very happy Norfolk farmhouse filled with antiques and curiosities I have long been attracted to the antiques trade.
The Studio Badger is my first foray into this field, I hope you enjoy, Jon
Buying, cleaning and restoring lamps became a hobby. Some might say an obsession!
All our lamps are once loved, real world items. They have lumps and bumps, missing paint, rust in places and patina.
At The Studio Badger, all our lamps are once loved in the real world. They have lumps and bumps, missing paint, rust in places and patina. If you want a brand new lamp in perfect condition, The Studio Badger is not the place for you.
All our lamps have been professionally rewired and PAT tested for the customers' peace of mind, and restored with honesty and integrity. Components of only the highest quality are sourced and installed although we maintain the originality of our products as much as possible.
The Studio Badger does not have the answer to every lighting requirement in the home or office, but for those looking for something antique and authentic - and usually a little out of the ordinary - please browse our products and let us know what you think.
Thanks and here's to lighting the way!
Jon
