Description
The Caldwood is a 25cm tapered lamp shade wrapped by hand in natural raffia, a shade made to add texture and a natural material to a room. The raffia diffuses the light softly while keeping its own woven character on show, so it reads as tactile and relaxed rather than smooth and formal. It measures 165mm high with a 255mm bottom diameter and a 115mm top, and sits on a fixed gimbal with an E14 fitting. Alternative sizes are available if you need a smaller or larger match.
A raffia shade is a lovely way to warm up a lamp, and the Caldwood suits a bedroom, a living room or a hallway where you want a coastal or country-leaning feel. The natural tone works with wood, rattan and neutral schemes, and it pairs happily with a ceramic or turned wood base. Because the weave lets a little light through as well as around the shade, it gives a gentle, atmospheric glow in the evening, which makes it a good choice for a side table or a reading corner.
The shade is hand-wrapped in natural raffia over its frame, so slight variations in the weave are part of its handmade character rather than a fault. The fixed gimbal holds it steady on the lampholder, and the E14 fitting suits a wide range of smaller bases. Keep it clean with a gentle brush or a light vacuum on a low setting, and keep it dry, as natural raffia should not be washed. With alternative sizes in the range, you can match the natural look across more than one lamp in a room.
