Description
A broad, shallow drum in grey faux silk organza, this one measures 45cm across and only 15cm deep, so it reads as a wide band of fabric rather than a tall column. The weave carries a faint sheen that shifts as the light moves across it, and the grey stays warm rather than steely. It is non-electrical, so the light comes from whatever it is fitted to, and that fitting should take a standard GLS lamp of no more than 20W.
The proportions earn their keep in rooms with low ceilings. Over a dining table the width spreads light across the surface without the shade dropping into eye line, and on a large table lamp base it gives a balance a small shade cannot. We would put it in a bedroom or a sitting room where the fabric can answer the curtains and upholstery, and it is one we reach for when a hallway needs filling out at the top. Anyone replacing a tired shade on a good base will find the shallow drum keeps the base as the thing you notice.
The organza gives grey a little life, catching light on the outer face while softening what passes through. Dust it with a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest setting, and keep sprays and damp cloths well away, since the fine weave marks and will not recover. It carries a one year warranty. The same cylinder runs through the range in smaller sizes, in organza in cream and black and in plain faux silk in white, black and grey, so table lamps and a pendant can be kept in step. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
What size is this shade?
It is 450mm in diameter and 150mm tall, a wide and shallow drum rather than a deep one.
What lamp should the fitting take?
An LED GLS (A60) lamp is the sensible choice, rated at no more than 20W.
Can it be used on a ceiling pendant as well as a table lamp?
Yes. It suits both, and the 45cm width gives a pendant real presence without adding drop.
What is the fabric?
A faux silk organza in grey, with a light sheen that varies as you move around it.
How should it be cleaned?
Lift dust with a soft brush or a vacuum set to its gentlest suction. Avoid water, sprays and any rubbing, as the weave is fine and shows marks.
How heavy is it?
About 0.52kg, so it is light for its width.
