Description
The Capoliveri is a small lampshade woven from thin strips of wood in a natural finish. An open lattice runs all the way round, and a solid band of wood finishes the lower rim. It tapers gently, a little narrower at the top than at the base, which gives it the soft outline of a bell. At 17.5cm tall and 16cm across, it is a compact shade for a pendant where a large shade would feel too heavy.
Natural wood suits rooms that lean towards warm, relaxed textures, such as a hallway, a landing, a reading corner or a small bedroom. The openings in the weave let the light pass between the strips, so the shade brings texture and warmth to a room rather than a single flat glow. Its modest size makes it a good choice where ceilings are low. It also works where you want several shades hung in a row along a kitchen counter without them dominating the room.
The shade has a packed weight of just 0.145KG, so it adds very little load to its pendant. Wood is a natural material, so expect slight differences in tone from one strip to the next; that variation is part of its charm. As a wooden shade, it belongs indoors, away from damp and steam. Before you order, check that your pendant set will take the shade, and pick a bulb that suits a small, open shade of this size.

Frequently Asked
What material is the shade?
It is made of wood, woven into an open lattice in a natural finish, with a solid wooden band around the lower rim.
How big is the Capoliveri shade?
It stands 17.5cm tall and measures 16cm across, which makes it a compact shade for a smaller pendant or a row of several.
Does light pass between the woven strips?
Yes. The lattice has open gaps all the way round, so light passes between the strips and gives the room a warm, textured look.
Can I hang it in a bathroom or outdoors?
We recommend dry indoor rooms only. Wood is a natural material that dislikes damp, so a hallway, landing or bedroom suits it far better than a bathroom.
How heavy is the shade?
Its packed weight is 0.145KG, so it is very light and adds little load to your pendant set.
Is every shade exactly the same colour?
The finish is natural wood, so expect small differences in tone between strips; that variation is part of what gives the shade its warmth.
