The drum lampshade is constructed from dupion silk, a naturally lustrous fabric woven from double-thread silk yarn that produces a characteristic sheen impossible to replicate in synthetic materials. Its pewter colouring offers a muted, cool-toned finish, while the occasional slubs — thicker twists in the yarn — reflect the organic nature of the silk fibre. The drum silhouette provides an even light distribution, and the dupion weave adds a subtle textural variation across the surface.
