Description

The Contessa is a medium square lampshade in white fabric with a softly tapered silhouette, measuring 16.5cm at the top rim, 30.5cm at the base, and 27cm in height. The shade fits table and floor lamp bases with a standard European fitting and is rated for bulbs up to 60W.

Designed for table lamps in bedrooms, living rooms and hallways, the square profile offers a more architectural alternative to traditional round or drum shades. The gentle taper from base to top balances the visual weight of the shade when fitted to column or urn-shaped bases. The white fabric diffuses light evenly in all directions, making the shade suitable for ambient bedside lighting or accent positions on side tables.

The fabric is lined on the interior to improve diffusion and prevent hotspots appearing through the material when lit. The white finish reflects the maximum amount of light into the room, making the Contessa a practical choice where brightness matters as much as appearance. At 450g, the shade is light enough to pair with bases that have decorative or slender profiles without creating top-heaviness. The square corners maintain their geometry when viewed from any angle, giving the shade a defined presence on a surface.

Frequently Asked

What lamp bases does the Contessa fit?

The Contessa uses a standard European lampshade fitting. It pairs with table and floor lamp bases that have a compatible shade carrier or harp. Check your base fitting before ordering — if you're replacing an existing shade of similar dimensions, the Contessa will typically fit the same base.

What bulb wattage can it handle?

The shade is rated for bulbs up to 60W. Most users pair it with a 6-10W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K), which provides ample light output while staying well within the wattage limit and generating minimal heat.

Does the white fabric show the bulb outline when lit?

The shade is fabric-lined on the interior, which diffuses light and reduces the visibility of the bulb outline. The lining prevents hotspots and ensures the light spreads evenly through the fabric rather than concentrating in one area.

Can the shade be cleaned?

Dust the shade regularly with a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner or a dry microfibre cloth. For marks, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water and allow the fabric to air-dry fully before refitting to the base. Avoid soaking the fabric or using household cleaners.
