Description
The Capoliveri lampshade is an open cage of black steel, shaped as a cone that narrows from a wide bottom ring to a small fitting ring at the top. Slim vertical struts run between the two rings with clear gaps left open, so the shade frames the bulb rather than hiding it. It stands 16cm high and measures 20cm across, a compact size that keeps the look light in a smaller room. Its IP20 rating settles where it belongs: indoors, in a dry room, away from steam and splashes.
We would put it in a living room, a bedroom, a study or a hallway, anywhere dry where a fabric shade would feel too soft or too solid. Because the cage is open, light passes straight between the struts, and they can throw fine lines of shadow across nearby walls and ceilings once the lamp is lit. That gives a plain room some pattern without adding clutter. The black finish looks crisp and graphic against pale walls, and it sits just as comfortably beside warm wood, natural linen or other dark metal.
Steel is strong and rigid, which is why the slim struts hold their line and the cone keeps its shape. The whole shade weighs 0.39KG, so it is light and easy to handle whenever you swap it or lift it down for a dust. The black finish runs over every strut and both rings, giving an even colour from every angle. Before you buy, check that the small fitting ring at the top suits the lamp holder you intend to use, so the shade sits level and true.
