The 30cm empire lampshade is constructed from dupion silk, a naturally textured fabric characterised by its lustrous sheen and occasional slubs where silk threads twist together at varying thicknesses. These natural irregularities are intrinsic to the material and contribute to its organic surface quality. The soft pewter colourway works with the silk's inherent lustre to reflect light with a subtle warmth. The empire shape directs light downward while the 30cm diameter provides balanced coverage for a standard lamp base.
