The tapered square lamp shade is made from saffron dupion silk, a fabric woven from warp and weft threads that creates a natural iridescence shifting between a rich orangey ochre and a softer yellow depending on the angle of light. Natural slubs — points where silk yarns twist together more thickly — are present across the surface as an inherent characteristic of the fibre. The square tapered form adds a geometric quality that distinguishes it from standard round shades, and the 13cm size suits smaller decorative bases.
