Description
The Aethera is a 16cm cone lampshade with a white fabric outer and a fireproof PVC inner lining. The tapered cone shape narrows from a 16cm base diameter to a smaller top aperture, directing light downwards while allowing some upward spill through the top opening.
Designed for table lamps, bedside lamps and small decorative bases, the 16cm diameter suits compact fittings where a larger shade would dominate. The shade fits standard European and UK lamp bases with E14 or E27 bulb holders, clipping or threading onto the lamp harp or bulb fitting depending on the base design. The white fabric diffuses the light from the bulb, softening the output and reducing glare when viewed from the side.
The fabric covering is bonded to a PVC backing that meets fireproof standards, preventing the shade from igniting if a bulb overheats or comes into contact with the material. The white finish works across contemporary, Scandinavian, coastal and traditional interiors, pairing with metal, ceramic, wood and glass lamp bases. The 16cm scale keeps the shade proportional to smaller bases without overpowering side tables or narrow shelving.

Frequently Asked
What lamp bases does this shade fit?
The Aethera fits standard E14 and E27 lamp bases using either a clip-on fitting that grips the bulb or a harp fitting that threads onto the lamp base. Check your base's fitting type before ordering to confirm compatibility.
What bulb wattage can it handle?
The fireproof PVC backing is designed to resist heat from standard household bulbs. Most manufacturers recommend staying below 40W for incandescent bulbs or 10W for LED bulbs in fabric shades of this size. LED bulbs generate less heat and are the safer choice.
Is the white fabric opaque or translucent?
The white fabric is translucent. When the lamp is lit, the bulb shape may be visible as a soft glow through the material, depending on the bulb type. This diffuses the light and creates ambient rather than directional illumination.
Can it be cleaned?
Dust the fabric gently with a soft brush or vacuum on low power using an upholstery attachment. For spot cleaning, test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first, as some solvents may discolour the fabric or damage the PVC backing.
