Wrinkle Black Fabric Lampshade - 22/40cm x 22cm

The Wrinkle is a black fabric lampshade with a textured surface created by diagonal pleating across the entire shade body. The shade measures 22cm across the top rim, 40cm across the base, and 22cm in height, giving an empire profile that tapers outward from fitting to floor. The pleated texture runs in parallel lines from top to bottom, creating ridges that catch light and cast subtle shadow detail when the lamp is lit.

Designed to fit table lamps, floor lamps and pendant conversions, the shade ships with a reducer ring that allows it to fit both E27 and B22 lamp holders. The lined interior prevents hotspots and ensures the light distributes evenly downward and outward rather than showing through the fabric as uneven patches. The black fabric works as a contrast element in rooms with lighter walls and furniture, or as a tonal layer in darker interiors where the texture becomes the point of interest rather than the colour.

The wrinkled finish is a permanent feature of the fabric construction rather than applied after forming, so the pleats hold their shape without flattening over time. At 0.35kg the shade is light enough to sit on most standard table lamp bases without tipping, but substantial enough to feel durable when handled. The 100W maximum rating accommodates most LED and halogen bulbs used in residential table lamps, though most buyers pair this with a 6-10W LED bulb in warm white for living rooms and bedrooms.

What lamp bases does this shade fit?

The shade includes a reducer ring that fits both E27 (Edison screw) and B22 (bayonet cap) lamp holders. It suits table lamps, floor lamps and pendant conversions where the shade sits over the bulb fitting.

What bulb wattage can it handle?

The shade is rated to 100W maximum. Most buyers use a 6-10W LED bulb in warm white (2700K-3000K), which provides enough light for a bedside table or living room side table without overheating the fabric.

Does the wrinkled texture flatten over time?

No. The pleated finish is a permanent feature of the fabric construction rather than applied after the shade is formed, so the ridges hold their shape with normal use.

Can the shade be cleaned?

Dust the shade regularly with a soft brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner set to low power, or use a dry microfibre cloth. Avoid water or cleaning sprays, as these can mark or discolour the fabric.
