Description
The Cusco is an extra large hexagon lampshade in cream fabric, measuring 25.5cm across the narrowest points and 41cm across the widest, with a 28cm height. The six-sided bell profile tapers from a 41cm base to a 25.5cm top fitting, creating a structured geometric form that works on both pendant ceiling fittings and large table lamp bases.
Designed for living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas where a larger shade is needed to balance proportional table lamp bases or pendant fittings, the Cusco suits ceiling heights above 2.4m when used as a pendant, or table lamp bases between 40-60cm tall. The hexagonal profile adds architectural definition compared to a round or drum shade, while the cream fabric keeps the overall look neutral enough to pair with traditional, mid-century and contemporary interiors.
The fabric construction diffuses light evenly across all six panels, softening the output from bulbs up to 100W and reducing glare when viewed from the side. The shade weighs 0.5kg, making it light enough for most table lamp bases to support without tipping, while the internal frame holds the hexagonal shape under the heat from incandescent, halogen or LED bulbs. The cream tone warms slightly when backlit, adding a soft glow to the surrounding wall and ceiling surfaces.

Frequently Asked
What fitting does this shade require?
The shade is non-electric and requires a separate lamp holder or pendant fitting. For table lamps, it fits standard gimbal or spider fittings. For ceiling pendants, it fits E27 or BC bayonet lampholders with a shade carrier ring.
What bulb wattage can it handle?
The shade is rated for bulbs up to 100W. Most users pair this with a 10-15W LED bulb for ambient lighting, or a 40-60W equivalent for brighter task lighting in reading areas.
Will the hexagon shape cast shadows on the wall?
The fabric diffuses light across all six panels, so the hexagonal profile creates soft geometric shadows on adjacent walls rather than harsh lines. The effect is more subtle than a cage or wireframe shade.
Is the cream colour pure white or warmer?
The cream tone is warmer than pure white, sitting closer to off-white or ivory. When backlit, the fabric takes on a slightly peachy warmth depending on the bulb colour temperature.
