The straight empire lampshade is crafted from dupion silk, a naturally woven fabric with a distinctive lustre that synthetic materials cannot replicate. Its soft ivory tone has a gentle warmth, while the dupion weave occasionally features slubs — slight thickening where two silk threads twist together — which are a natural characteristic of the fibre. The empire silhouette provides even light diffusion, and the silk construction gives the shade a refined, organic texture.
