Description
Grey faux silk gives this small rectangular shade a soft sheen that shifts with the light, while the white laminate lining keeps the light it throws clean and bright. The corners are crisp and the sides straight, so it reads as a quiet piece of geometry rather than something decorative. It is shallow front to back, which helps it sit neatly on a narrow shelf or a bedside table, and it is equally at home on a table lamp or hung from a pendant flex.
We tend to suggest it in pairs on bedside tables, where a matching set settles a bedroom quickly, and it does the same job on a small console lamp in a hall or a lamp on a study desk. Rectangles suit square and boxy furniture in particular, where a round shade can look a little loose against the lines. Because the shade itself is non-electrical, the lamp belongs to the fitting you dress: a golf ball LED is the one we would reach for, and the host lamp should stay within 40W.
The fabric is a woven faux silk, chosen for the way it holds a shape at this smaller scale, backed in white laminate. To keep it looking fresh, run a soft brush or a lint roller lightly along the weave and leave water and sprays well away from the surface; marks on faux silk are far easier to prevent than to remove. It carries a one year warranty. Lamps are not included. If you would rather soften the geometry, the range also runs to round cylinder shades in black, white, grey and ivory pearl, plus organza versions in cream and black, and mixing a curve with a rectangle across a room tends to work better than matching everything exactly.

Frequently Asked
What lamp should I use with it?
An LED golf ball suits it best, fitted in the table lamp or pendant it sits on. Keep the lamp within 40W.
Can it be used on a ceiling pendant as well as a table lamp?
Yes. It is a dual mount shade, so it will work on a pendant flex or on a lamp base.
What are the openings at the top and bottom?
The shade hole measures 27mm and 42mm, which covers the common pendant and lamp arrangements.
What are the finished dimensions?
It measures 200mm long, 120mm wide and 150mm high, so it is a compact shade for smaller lamps.
What colour is the inside?
The lining is a white laminate, which keeps the light bright rather than tinting it.
How should I clean it?
Dry cleaning only in practice: a soft brush or lint roller along the weave, with no damp cloths or sprays on the faux silk.
