Curino Medium Round Fabric Lampshade - Black, 30 x 22cm

The Curino is a 300mm diameter cylindrical fabric lampshade in black, standing 220mm tall with a drum profile that maintains straight vertical sides from top to bottom. The shade is built around a metal frame with a black fabric outer and an internal laminate finish that reflects light back into the room. The fabric weave is tight enough to provide solid colour coverage while allowing warm light to pass through when a bulb is lit inside.

Designed to fit standard table lamp harps and ceiling pendant adaptors, the Curino suits bedside tables, reading lamps on side tables, and pendant conversions where a drum shade is needed. The 300mm diameter works for lamps with bases between 150-250mm wide, keeping the shade proportionate to the base without overhang. The 220mm height provides enough clearance for standard E27 or B22 bulbs without the bulb sitting visible below the lower rim.

The black fabric exterior absorbs ambient light during the day, giving the shade a solid matte presence in daylight hours. When lit, the shade casts a warm downward glow while diffusing light horizontally through the fabric weave. The internal laminate finish increases brightness compared to a plain fabric interior, directing more lumens outward rather than absorbing them into the shade structure. At 390g the shade is light enough to fit most lamp harps without requiring counterweight on the base.

The Curino is part of Diyas's fabric shade collection and pairs with the brand's table lamp bases and with standard UK lamp fittings. The shade accepts bulbs up to 60W, which in LED equivalents translates to roughly 800-1000 lumens output depending on bulb efficiency.

What fitting does this shade require?

The Curino fits standard table lamp harps and ceiling pendant shade carriers. For table lamps, the shade sits on a harp (the metal U-shaped frame) and is secured with a finial on top. For ceiling pendants, a separate shade carrier or adapter ring is needed to suspend the shade from the pendant cord.

What bulb wattage can it take?

The shade is rated for bulbs up to 60W. In LED terms this allows roughly 800-1000 lumens output. Use E27 or B22 bulbs depending on your lamp base fitting, and ensure the bulb does not extend below the bottom rim of the shade when fitted.

Does the shade come with a bulb or lamp base?

No. The Curino is a shade only. You will need a separate table lamp base or ceiling pendant fitting, plus a suitable bulb. Diyas produces matching table lamp bases that pair with this shade.

How is the shade cleaned?

Use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner set to low suction to remove dust from the fabric surface. For marks, a barely-damp microfibre cloth can be used sparingly, but avoid soaking the fabric or using chemical sprays, which may stain or discolour the weave.
