The 25cm empire lampshade combines hand block-printed cotton with a classic tapered silhouette, crafted using traditional wooden printing blocks in Jaipur, India. Its deep blue temple motif runs across the cotton surface, with the block-printing technique introducing subtle tonal variation inherent to the handmade process. The empire shape provides a broad, even spread suited to standard lamp bases.
This fabulous fabric is hand blocked for us in Jaipur, India, in what is the most inspiring workshop - we played for days with literally hundreds of wooden printing blocks - this is one result from then. A sharp dark blue temple motif, or perhaps a blue flame, or even a genie...whatever it is, it works.
