The Empire lamp shade combines an off-white card exterior with a cotton lining, giving it a clean, structured form. Its defining detail is the classic green tape applied to both the top and bottom edges, creating a sharp colour contrast against the neutral base. The card construction holds its shape firmly, while the cotton lining softens the light diffusion.
If you wanted to go out looking sharp, you might ease into a white suit and spice it up with matching hat and shoes. Well why should a lampshade be any different? Very striking just off white card, lined with cotton and topped and tailed with a jolt of colour. Natty!
