The 35cm empire lampshade is crafted from dupion silk, a naturally woven fabric produced from two distinct threads that creates an inherent iridescence in the colour. This saffron colourway shifts between a rich orangey ochre and a softer yellow depending on the angle of light, reflecting the natural lustre characteristic of dupion. Occasional slubs — thicker twists in the yarn — appear across the surface as a natural feature of the silk weave, adding organic texture to the finished shade.
