Description
The Raffia Tapered Lamp Shade brings a natural, textured look to table and floor lamps. Fine strands of raffia are gathered vertically over a tapered frame, so light filters through in soft, warm streaks while the pleated surface catches shadow and highlight. A steel frame holds the shape and keeps the shade sturdy, and the empire taper works with both traditional and more relaxed lamp bases.
The range comes in two colourways, Natural Raffia and Black Natural Raffia, across three sizes, from a compact 24cm shade up to a wider 32cm version. The smaller sizes suit bedside and accent lamps, while the larger shade gives more presence on a living room or hallway table lamp. Choose the natural tone for a light, airy feel or the black raffia for a warmer, more grounded look in a darker scheme.
Each shade is made from raffia over a steel frame, with the strands wrapped and gathered for that ribbed, tactile finish. Keep it looking its best by dusting gently with a soft, dry brush or cloth, and avoid damp cleaning as raffia is a natural fibre. Check the fitting on your lamp base before choosing a size.
