Madame Garage was founded in January 2017 by Else Schaap and Hilda van Hall and originated from our shared passion for unique (second-hand) items. Both of us are always on the lookout for beautiful decorations and furniture pieces to elevate the interiors. Scavenging, restoring and reintroducing our finds into interiors run in our blood, and we wanted to share that with others. Having spent years in the corporate world as a lawyer and marketing manager, we decided to turn our enthusiasm into a tangible venture.
Our journey began with clearing out old houses. While on it, we would discover beautiful furniture, lamps, home accessories, and many beautiful vases. An unintentional collection started to pile up. Because we firmly believe in the value of up-cycling and repurposing, we saw an opportunity to upgrade the vases into lamps that could find their way back into the modern interior.
Over the past few years, we’ve taken great pleasure in completing numerous projects, customising lamps on request for hotels and restaurants and collaborating with retailers and interior stylists on curated collections.
We wholeheartedly devote ourselves to our lamp atelier and take pride in each lamp that has made its way into the interiors of Madame Garage fans.
Unique and Custom-made lamps.
At Madame Garage, we specialize in transforming various items into eye-catching lamps, which are always created in limited quantities. Each lamp is handmade in our atelier in Haarlem and tailored to bring your interior vision to life.
Our diverse lamp base collection includes (vintage) ceramic pieces, Murano and (vintage) glass, wood, marble, and other natural materials. We offer over 150 lampshade fabric options to complement these lamp bases, enabling you to create a fully custom-made lamp that suits your style.
We offer separate pricing for lamp bases and lampshades to provide the utmost flexibility and creativity in creating your custom-made lamp, allowing you to mix and match according to your preferences and ensuring that your lamp is almost always one-of-a-kind.
Else has a keen eye for distinct (vintage) items and unique home accessories, which she passionately gathers from all over the Netherlands and beyond. If an item has the potential to be transformed into a lamp, it will soon find its way into the atelier, where Hilda works her magic, upgrading them into lamp bases.
In addition to the ever-changing collections, Madame Garage refurbishes vintage lamps or creates new ones from old parts. Everything worth preserving and breathing new life into becomes a creative upcycling project.
We prefer contact via WhatsApp because it is an easy way to keep in touch; we can respond quickly and send photos of our stock, combinations with different shades or, for example, lamps that we still have to make +31(6) 1943 6848
