The 40cm straight empire lampshade offers a mid-sized format in hand block-printed cotton, featuring a dark blue temple motif produced using traditional wooden printing blocks in Jaipur, India. The straight empire silhouette maintains an even diameter from top to base, giving the shade a clean, upright profile. The block-printing process introduces subtle variation across the repeat, reflecting the handmade nature of the fabric.
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.
