The Ellen Merchant Palmette empire shade features a hand-carved linocut print inspired by the classical palm leaf ornament, rendered with a playful, undulating pattern across citrine linen fabric. Its straight empire silhouette at 40cm provides a generous, structured form, while the linocut-derived texture adds an organic, tactile quality to the printed surface. The citrine colourway delivers a warm, vibrant tone that works across both cool and warm interior schemes.
A little bit of Ancient Greece meets a lot of groovy. The Palmette takes its cues from the classical palm leaf ornament but adds a playful, undulating wiggle for a decidedly retro twist. Originally hand-carved as a linocut by Ellen to capture that lovely, lived-in texture, it’s a masterclass in contrast. Whether you opt for the zingy ‘Citrine’ or the calm of ‘Beryl’, it’s a striking composition that feels right at home in both cool and warm schemes.
