Freida Organza Table Lamp Shade Grey 30cm with Crystal Strands

The Freida is a 30cm diameter cylindrical lamp shade wrapped in grey organza fabric with crystal strands suspended inside the drum. The organza acts as a semi-translucent diffuser, softening the light from the bulb while allowing the internal crystal strands to catch and reflect it. Each crystal drop hangs in vertical alignment, creating a shimmer effect when the lamp is lit.

Designed to fit standard E27 table lamp bases, the shade suits bedside tables, console tables in hallways, and side tables in living rooms where decorative detail is visible at eye level when seated. The 18cm height and 30cm width proportion works best on lamp bases between 25-35cm tall, keeping the overall fixture height manageable for surfaces where you need line-of-sight across the room. The shade accepts bulbs up to 40W, making it compatible with LED, halogen or traditional filament E27 bulbs.

The grey organza gives the shade a neutral, smoky tone that sits between warm and cool palettes, pairing with polished chrome, brushed nickel, or silver-finish lamp bases without clashing. The fabric texture is visible when the lamp is off, showing vertical pleating lines that run from top to bottom of the drum. When lit, the organza glows softly and the crystal strands inside become more prominent, adding depth without overwhelming the fabric. The shade weighs 380g, light enough to sit securely on most table lamp fittings without requiring additional support.

What lamp base does this fit?

The Freida fits standard E27 table lamp bases with a traditional shade carrier or European duplex fitting. The shade has a top opening of approximately 30mm to sit over the carrier ring. Confirm your base type before ordering if your lamp uses a clip-on or harp-style fitting.

What bulb should I use?

Use an E27 bulb up to 40W. For best effect with the crystal strands, choose a clear LED filament bulb or a warm-white LED between 6-10W and 2700K-3000K. Avoid high-output bulbs above 40W as the organza fabric may discolour over time with excessive heat.

Can the shade be cleaned?

Yes, but carefully. Dust the organza gently with a soft brush or dry microfibre cloth. The crystal strands can be wiped with a barely-damp cloth if needed. Do not immerse the shade in water or use household cleaners on the fabric.

Does the grey show light colour accurately?

The grey organza adds a slight cool cast to the light output. Warm-white bulbs (2700K-3000K) will appear slightly neutralised through the fabric, while cooler daylight bulbs (4000K+) will reinforce the grey tone. For warmest effect, pair with a 2700K bulb.
