Description
Ours is a plain cylinder shade, 40cm across, carried below a satin nickel cup and bracket so the fitting stays close to the ceiling instead of dropping into the room. The fabric is black on the outside, with a white laminate lining that pushes light back down rather than soaking it up. The result is ambient: a soft, even spread through the room with a brighter fall directly underneath. The drum is broad enough to read as deliberate over a bed or in a hall.
We keep this one in mind for rooms where a pendant would hang too low: a hallway with limited headroom, a small bedroom, a landing, or the space above a bed in a spare room. It takes one E27 lamp, and we would fit a GLS LED globe, which sits neatly inside the cylinder without showing through the fabric. It will dim if you pair a dimmable lamp with a compatible dimmer, though neither is supplied with the light. It suits anyone who wants the softness of a fabric shade without the height of a hanging fitting, and the plain shape is the safer choice in a rented flat.
The shade is terylene with cotton over a metal frame and a PVC lining, so it keeps its drum shape rather than dimpling, and the body is iron finished in satin nickel, which is quieter in tone than polished chrome. Cleaning wants nothing more than a dry cloth over the fabric and the metal, with the light switched off and no longer lit; detergents, sprays and any coarse cloth will mark both. It carries a one year warranty. Black and nickel is an easy pairing, and we would echo it with dark metal picture frames or a black table lamp. Lamps are not included.
