The 35cm straight empire gathered lampshade provides a structured silhouette with gathered cotton fabric, hand block-printed in Jaipur, India using carved wooden blocks. The sharp blue temple motif printed across the cotton creates a strong repeating pattern, while the gathering adds depth and movement to the surface. The hand-printing process ensures subtle variation across the fabric, reflecting its artisan origins.
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.
