Wrinkle Fabric Lampshade Olive 22/40cm x 22cm

The Wrinkle is a tapered fabric lampshade with a textured olive surface, measuring 22cm across the top, 40cm across the base and 22cm in drop. The fabric has diagonal creases pressed into it during manufacture, giving the shade a three-dimensional surface that catches light differently across its profile compared to smooth fabric shades.

Designed for table lamps and floor lamps with standard UK fittings, the shade fits bases with E27 or B22 lampholders and supports bulbs up to 100W (LED equivalent typically 12-15W). The shade is lined internally with a white backing fabric that reflects light downwards and outwards while preventing the bulb from being visible through the olive outer layer. The reducer ring supplied with the shade allows it to fit both larger and smaller lamp harps or carrier frames.

The olive tone sits between sage green and khaki, pairing with brass, bronze, dark wood and black metal lamp bases without clashing with warm or cool wall colours. The 22cm drop suits bases between 30-50cm tall, keeping the overall lamp height under 75cm for side tables and console positions. The diagonal texture of the fabric softens the light output compared to a smooth shade, reducing harsh shadows on surrounding walls.

What lamp bases does this shade fit?

The shade fits standard UK table and floor lamp bases with E27 or B22 lampholders. A reducer ring is included to accommodate different harp or carrier frame sizes. The shade is not suitable for pendant or ceiling fittings.

What bulb wattage can it take?

The shade supports bulbs up to 100W incandescent equivalent. For LED bulbs this typically means 12-15W actual draw. Higher wattages may overheat the fabric or cause discolouration over time.

Is the shade lined?

Yes. The shade has an internal white lining that reflects light and prevents the bulb from being visible through the olive outer fabric. This gives a softer, more diffused light output.

How is the textured surface created?

The diagonal creases are pressed into the fabric during manufacture, giving the shade a permanent three-dimensional surface. The texture is a design feature and does not flatten out over time.
