Blue Hessian Coolie Lampshade
Imperial Lighting makes this blue hessian coolie lampshade by hand in Devon using traditional lampshade-making methods. We use woven hessian fabric, also known as jute or burlap, to create a classic coolie shape with a clean and balanced finish. As a result, this lightshade adds colour and natural texture without feeling heavy or overpowering in the space.
The woven jute fabric softens the light as it passes through the shade. Therefore, it creates a warm and comfortable glow that works well for everyday lighting. At the same time, the blue colour adds a calm and relaxed feel, helping the lampshade stand out while still feeling balanced. Because of this, the lightshade suits living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices. In addition, it works well in hotels and other shared spaces. The natural burlap texture pairs easily with wood, stone, neutral colours, and soft metal finishes.
Coolie shape, size options and use
The coolie shape directs light downwards, which makes this lightshade practical and easy to live with. It works well as a table lightshade, floor lamp shade, or ceiling pendant. When used on its own, it adds colour and warmth. Likewise, when used in a group, it helps create a balanced and consistent lighting scheme across a room.
This hessian lightshade is available in sizes from 25cm to 60cm, making it suitable for both small and large spaces. Each size keeps the same proportions. As a result, the shade looks well balanced at any scale. A clear PVC inner liner is fitted to enhance the natural fabric and allow the weave to show clearly when the light is switched on.
Handmade in Devon by Imperial Lighting
Each blue hessian lightshade is handmade to order in our Devon workshop by Imperial Lighting. Our makers carefully check each stage of production to ensure a high standard of finish. However, because jute is a natural material, small variations may occur. Overall, these details add character and reflect the handmade process behind every shade.
