Serena Lamp Shade 35cm Organza Fabric - Cream

A wide, shallow cylinder in cream organza that reads light and airy rather than solid. The weave is sheer enough to glow across its whole face when lit, so the shade becomes part of the light rather than simply hiding the lamp. At 35cm across it is broader than it is tall, giving a low, calm profile that settles a room down. The cream tone warms noticeably once a lamp is behind it. Nothing about it competes for attention; it softens what the lamp is already doing.

We reach for a shade like this where a room needs width without height: above a hall table, beside a bed, or on a floor lamp in a reading corner. It is made for dual mounting, so it works on a pendant flex or on a table lamp base. The host fitting carries the lamp, and we would choose a warm white LED GLS for the gentlest spread through the organza. Cream is easy company, so it suits plain schemes and busy ones alike, and it sits happily with painted timber, ceramic or brass.

Organza is a fine, crisp fabric and it wants a gentle hand. Dust it with a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest setting with an upholstery head, working around the drum rather than pressing into the weave. A sheer fabric shows damp, so keep it clear of steam and unheated rooms. It carries a one year warranty. We stock the same organza in black, and in a smaller cylinder if this width overwhelms your base, while the wider Serena range runs through faux silk in several neutrals and darker tones.

What are the dimensions of the shade?

It measures 350mm in diameter by 150mm high, so it is a broad, shallow drum rather than a tall one.

Will it fit my table lamp or my pendant flex?

The fitting hole is 42mm and the shade is suitable for dual mounting, which means it can sit on a table lamp base or hang from a pendant flex using the standard 42mm arrangement.

Which lamp should I use with it?

A GLS A60 LED lamp is the recommended choice, up to a maximum of 20W. The shade is non-electric, so the lamp belongs to the host fitting and is not supplied here.

How should I clean organza?

Dry cleaning only in practice: a soft brush or a low-suction vacuum with an upholstery head. Avoid water, sprays and polishes, as they can mark a sheer weave permanently.

Can I use it in a bathroom or a porch?

No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry interior rooms; humidity and cold will spoil the fabric.

Is there a smaller version in the same fabric?

Yes, the same cream organza is made in a 160 x 110mm cylinder, and that size is also offered in black.
