{"product_id":"tiwa-woven-jute-lampshade-natural-medium","title":"Tiwa Medium Woven Jute Lampshade - Natural","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tiwa is a tapered drum wound in fine jute cord, the cord running vertically from the top rim to the bottom in hundreds of close parallel lines. The surface reads as a fine stripe rather than a weave, the brass fitting ring shows inside the top, and the slight variation in cord thickness keeps the lines from looking machined. This is the medium: 18.5cm tall and 30.5cm across.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThirty centimetres is the width most ordinary table lamps are built around, so this is the size that will fit a lamp already in the room. Winding rather than weaving makes it denser than a woven jute of the same fibre, so the light leaves mostly through the open ends and the shade itself keeps a soft grain rather than glowing through. On a clear glass base the vertical cord and the vertical flex line up; on a turned wooden base the fine lines sit against the turning rather than repeating it. It weighs 0.62kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJute is fast growing and biodegradable, taking four to six months from planting to harvest, and it is colourfast. Each shade is wound by hand over its frame, so the spacing differs from one to the next. The Tiwa range runs from small to extra large. No bulb, base or fitting is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJute \u0026amp; Iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLampshade use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTable Lamps, Floor Lamps \u0026amp; Ceiling\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.62kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it woven or wound?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWound.
