Description
The Aethera drum lampshade is a wide, shallow cylinder in beige, 45cm across and 9cm deep, with a softly textured outer band and a clean white underside. It is a shade only: the box holds the lampshade itself, with no lamp holder and no bulb. To become a working light it needs one of the Aethera range's ceiling lamp holders or pendant light fittings, sold separately, and that fitting is a requirement rather than an option, so it makes sense to choose the two together.
At 45cm across, this drum has real presence in the centre of a living room or bedroom ceiling, or over a dining table, yet at only 9cm deep it stays neat and never bulky. On a ceiling lamp holder it sits up close to the ceiling, which suits rooms where headroom is limited; on a pendant fitting it hangs as a broad, low drum of soft colour. The beige is a warm neutral that settles easily beside white walls, cream textiles or natural wood, and the texture in the band gives the surface a little depth so it never looks flat. It is also a straightforward way to refresh the look of a room built around the range's fittings.
The outer band shows a fine, even texture, while the underside is plain white, so the shade looks tidy from beneath as well as from the side. It weighs 0.5KG, an easy shade to lift into place. Remember that the lamp holder and the bulb are not included, so plan for both alongside the shade. The lamp holder or pendant fitting is a mains product, and a qualified electrician should install it; once that is done, the shade completes the light.

Frequently Asked
Does the lampshade come with a lamp holder or bulb?
No. You receive the lampshade only. The lamp holder and the bulb are not included, so you will need a ceiling lamp holder or pendant fitting from the Aethera range, sold separately.
Which Aethera fittings does this drum shade fit?
It is made for the Aethera range's ceiling lamp holders and pendant light fittings, which are sold separately and are required to turn the shade into a working light.
How big is the Aethera drum lampshade?
It measures 45cm across and 9cm deep, a wide but shallow drum that keeps a low profile on a ceiling lamp holder or on a pendant fitting.
What colour is the shade?
The outer band is beige with a fine, visible texture, and the underside is white, so the shade looks neat from the side and from beneath.
How heavy is the lampshade?
The shade weighs 0.5KG, so it is light and easy to handle when you pair it with one of the range's lamp holders or pendant fittings.
Can I hang it over a dining table?
Yes. On one of the range's pendant fittings, the 45cm drum gives a broad, shallow shape over a dining table, hanging at the height the fitting allows.
