Description

This Mantra lampshade uses hand-wrapped silk thread around a metal wire frame to create a tapered drum profile, measuring 25cm at the base, 40cm at the top, and 25cm tall. The midnight blue silk is wrapped in parallel lines around the vertical struts, creating fine vertical ribbing that catches light differently depending on viewing angle. The shade is designed as a replacement or upgrade for existing table lamps and pendant fittings with compatible shade rings or clips.

The tapered profile suits both table lamp bases where a wider top prevents glare when seated nearby, and pendant fittings in hallways, dining areas or bedrooms where the shade needs to spread light over a wider area than a straight drum. The midnight blue tone sits between navy and a deeper indigo, reading as a saturated cool blue under daylight and shifting slightly towards near-black when unlit in low ambient light. The silk thread softens the light output
