How it works

Made to order, not off a shelf

Every lamp starts as a conversation about the room it's for — the size of the space, the material you want to live with, and the pattern you want thrown across the wall at night. Nothing is mass-produced: patterns are cut and fitted by hand, one lamp at a time.

Customisable dimensions — size, colour, pattern, material

The story

From prints to patterns

rym began in 2014, started by a graphic design graduate who found the usual run of logos and business cards a little uninspiring. Pattern felt like it belonged somewhere bolder — so it went onto silk scarves first, then graphic tees, ties, pocket squares, bags and bracelets, each made in small, exclusive runs under the name RYM Clothing.

In the early days of the pandemic, curiosity took over. Wanting to branch out beyond fashion, that same instinct for pattern turned toward light — cutting the same kind of intricate detail not into fabric, but into metal, and letting it play out as shadow instead of print. rym.dsgn was the result: pattern, unbound from clothing, thrown across walls and floors instead.
