Description
This is a drum lampshade in brown linen fabric, with a fine woven texture you can see up close and a clean white interior. It measures 40cm across and 22cm tall, a wide, low shape that reads as a broad band of warm colour rather than a narrow tube. The shade is made for use with an E27 bulb, and the bulb is not included, so you are free to choose the brightness and colour of light that suit your room. As a fabric shade, it belongs indoors in a dry room.
The earthy brown suits living rooms, bedrooms and studies where you want lamplight to feel calm and grounded rather than bright and clinical. It sits comfortably alongside wood, leather, cream walls and the deeper greens and rusts of a vintage-leaning scheme. At 40cm across it has real presence, so it suits a larger lamp or a bigger room where a small shade would look lost. We like it as a way to refresh a tired lamp without replacing the whole thing: a new shade changes the look of a room for far less effort than a new light.
Linen is a natural fibre spun from flax, and here it gives the shade its slightly irregular woven surface, which keeps the brown from looking flat. The white interior is a pale surface, and pale surfaces reflect light back out rather than absorbing it, so more of your bulb's glow reaches the room. Packed, the shade weighs 0.904KG. Before you order, check that your lamp takes an E27 bulb, and have one ready, as the shade arrives without a bulb.
