Duo Medium Round Lampshade Black with Chrome Lining - 35 x 25cm

The Duo is a 35cm diameter drum lampshade with a black fabric exterior and a polished chrome lining on the inside. The cylindrical shape measures 25cm in height, fitting standard ES (E27) or BC (B22) pendant lampholders and most table lamp bases with a shade carrier or duplex fitting.

Designed for ceiling pendants, table lamps and floor lamps in living rooms, bedrooms and home offices, the shade directs most of its light downward and outward through the open top and bottom, with minimal light passing through the black fabric itself. The polished chrome lining reflects the bulb light back into the room rather than absorbing it, increasing brightness compared to a fully black shade while maintaining the matte black exterior finish.

The black exterior is a cotton or polyester blend fabric stretched over a wire frame, giving a smooth surface that pairs with both contemporary and mid-century interiors. The chrome lining shows subtle texture when viewed from below, especially when the bulb is lit, creating tonal variation across the reflective surface. At 420g the shade is light enough for pendant flexes rated to 2kg or more, and the 35cm diameter suits rooms of 12-20m² without dominating smaller spaces or disappearing in larger ones.

What bulb fitting does it take?

The shade is non-electric and fits standard ES (E27) or BC (B22) pendant lampholders and table lamp bases with a duplex ring or shade carrier. The shade itself does not include any electrical components.

Can it be used on a pendant or table lamp?

Yes. The shade fits both ceiling pendants and table or floor lamp bases. For pendant use, check the flex is rated to at least 2kg. For table lamps, the shade sits on a duplex ring or shade carrier that screws onto the lampholder below the bulb.

How bright is the light output?

The chrome lining reflects light downward and outward through the open top and bottom of the drum, giving brighter output than a fully black-lined shade. Very little light passes through the black fabric sides, so most illumination is directed rather than diffused.

What bulb wattage is recommended?

The shade is rated to 60W maximum. Most users pair it with a 6-10W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K) for ambient or task lighting, or a higher-wattage LED where more brightness is needed.
