Handmade Sculpted Lightshade: 'Fold' in banana fibre, size large (4 colour options)
Handmade Sculpted Lightshade: 'Fold' in banana fibre, size large (4 colour options)
Evoking a kind of abstract origami, the ‘Fold’ lightshade has a lyrical and diaphanous quality. Taking inspiration from couture millinery, the banana fibre (also known as sinamay) has been cut on the bias, allowing it to flow harmoniously around the central drum in undulating loops and folds.
Now with a choice of baffle (diffuser) options. Choose between a plain sinamay baffle fixed in place (in this case access to fitting and bulb is from above), or a removable baffle that features folds.
The abstract and asymmetrical nature of the drapery gives the lightshade a slightly different appearance from all angles, and means that each one is unique.
Diameter: approx 65cm
Height: approx 35cm
See below for further specifications and important safety information.
Handmade in London by Karen Henriksen. Each lightshade is made to order - despatch is approx 4-6 weeks from order. Please let us know if your order is more urgent than this, or if you have a specific date that you’d like to receive it.
This product is a lightshade only. It will fit a screw cap E27 lamp fitting as standard, or a traditional UK bayonet B22 lamp fitting using the washer included. If you are looking to replace your light fitting and would like help or recomendations in doing so, please get in touch.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION - This lightshade is designed to be used with an LED light bulb only. Max 60W. Any other types of light bulb are not recommended. For added peace of mind, each lightshade is treated with a fire retardant spray.
Material: 100% sinamay (banana fibre). Also sometimes called Abaca, it is widely used in the millinery trade - made by independent weavers and small family co-ops in the Phillipines, who work directly with our suppliers, small family businesses here in the UK.
Colour: As with most textiles, over time, the colour may alter slightly, depending on the conditions of the room, in particular how much sunlight it is exposed to. Even in a very bright setting, it will be a slow, gradual process. White tends to mellow and become less bright. Ivory and Natural will deepen slightly.
Dimensions: Total diameter: approx 65cm. Total height: approx 35cm. As a handmade piece, and the nature of its design, these dimensions can only be approximate.
