The 40cm short drum lampshade is made from antique rose dupion silk, a fabric woven from two distinct threads — the warp and the weft — which produces a natural iridescence that shifts between a mild and deeper pink depending on the viewing angle. Dupion silk's characteristic slubs, where threads are twisted more thickly at intervals, are present throughout the weave as an inherent quality of the natural fibre. The drum silhouette provides an even, structured form that allows the fabric's lustre and tonal variation to remain the focal point.
