Stella Round Pleated Lampshade - Black, 15/25cm x 18.8cm

The Stella is a round pleated fabric lampshade in black, measuring 150mm diameter at the top, 250mm at the base, and 188mm tall. The pleated textile construction creates vertical folds that run from the top ring to the bottom edge, adding surface texture and diffusing light through the weave when the lamp is switched on. The shade fits table lamps and floor lamps via a reducer ring included with the product.

Designed as a replacement shade or for pairing with a separate lamp base, the Stella suits bedside tables, console tables, side tables and floor lamp bases with an E27 bulb fitting rated up to 60W. The black fabric absorbs direct glare from the bulb while allowing soft ambient light to escape through the weave and pleats, creating a controlled glow rather than a wide wash of illumination. The 250mm base diameter suits lamp bases between 150-200mm diameter without the shade appearing oversized or undersized.

The pleated construction is stitched onto wire frames at the top and bottom rings, giving the shade enough rigidity to hold its conical profile without collapsing when the bulb heats the interior. The black finish pairs with monochrome interiors, acts as contrast against pale walls or wood furniture, and coordinates with brass, chrome, nickel and matt black lamp bases. At 320g the shade is light enough for most table lamp stems to support without leaning.

What lamp bases is this compatible with?

The Stella includes a reducer ring adapter that fits most standard table and floor lamp fittings with E27 bulb holders. The shade is non-electric, meaning it clips onto the lamp holder rather than being hard-wired.

What wattage bulb can it take?

The fabric is rated for bulbs up to 60W. Most users pair this shade with a 6-10W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K), which provides sufficient light output without overheating the fabric.

Will the pleats flatten over time?

The pleats are stitched onto wire frames at the top and bottom rings, so they maintain their vertical fold structure. Gentle handling during installation prevents crushing the pleats at the touch points.

How is the fabric cleaned?

Use a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner set to low suction, or dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth. Avoid water or cleaning sprays, as the fabric may stain or lose its pleated shape when wet.
