The 40cm straight empire lamp shade combines smooth cream card with a clean, structured silhouette that diffuses light evenly. A crisp band of red duo tape runs along the base, providing a double-stripe contrast against the neutral card surface. The straight empire profile maintains a consistent taper from top to bottom, giving the shade a tailored, geometric form.
Sometimes it’s the simplest details that make all the difference. Smooth cream card, clean and classic, finished with a crisp band of red duo tape - a subtle contrast that feels thoughtful rather than shouty. The double stripe adds just enough colour to lift the neutral base, giving it a tailored, considered edge. Understated, yes - but never boring.
