Handmade Pleated Lampshades
We handmake our pleated lampshades by wrapping cotton ribbon around the frame to create a crisp knife pleat effect. The ribbon continues around the inside, giving the shade a neat finish from every angle.
For a coordinated look, choose a single ribbon colour. Alternatively, contact us to discuss combining two or three colours. Similar tones create a subtle effect, while contrasting colours make a bolder statement.
You can also choose from Empire, Drum and Daisy shapes. Each offers a different silhouette, so consider both your lamp base and the space around it before choosing.
