Description
The Cusco is a small hexagon lampshade in cream fabric, measuring 15cm at the top rim, 25.5cm at the bottom rim, and 20.5cm in height. The six-sided profile creates a geometric alternative to traditional round or empire shades, with each fabric panel catching and diffusing light differently as the shade tapers from top to bottom.
Designed for table lamps, pendant fittings, and ceiling rose conversions in bedrooms, hallways and smaller living spaces, the Cusco fits standard UK lamp fittings with a carrier ring or spider mount. The 40W maximum rating suits LED bulbs in the 6-10W range or compact halogen bulbs where warmer light is preferred. The compact 25.5cm base diameter works on smaller side tables and console tables without dominating the surface.
The cream fabric is a mid-tone linen-weave textile that shows subtle texture variation across the six panels. When unlit, the shade reads as a pale neutral that pairs with whites, greys, and warm-toned woods. When lit, the fabric diffuses a soft warm glow while the hexagonal structure casts faint linear shadows onto nearby walls, adding depth to flat surfaces. The 0.28kg weight keeps the shade stable on table lamp bases without requiring counterweights.

Frequently Asked
What fitting type does the Cusco use?
The Cusco is listed as non-electric, meaning it's a shade-only product that requires a separate lamp base or pendant fitting. It typically uses a carrier ring or spider mount to attach to standard UK lamp fittings. Confirm the fitting type with your lamp base before ordering.
What bulb wattage is recommended?
The shade is rated up to 40W maximum. Most users pair this with a 6-10W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) for reading light on a bedside table, or lower wattages for ambient accent lighting in hallways.
Does the hexagon shape work on round lamp bases?
Yes. The shade fits any standard lamp fitting regardless of base shape. The hexagonal profile is a design feature of the shade itself and does not require a matching hexagonal base.
Can the cream fabric be cleaned?
Dust the fabric gently with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. For light marks, a barely-damp cloth may be used, but avoid soaking the fabric or using household cleaners, which can stain or discolour the material.
