The GP & J Baker Tuffley empire shade combines a straight silhouette with gathered cotton fabric in a deep denim blue. Rooted in a mid-19th century textile design originally created for clothing, the Tuffley pattern — internally codenamed 'seaweed' — renders flowing botanical forms across the gathered surface. Its compact 30cm scale suits smaller lamp bases while retaining the full character of the fabric's organic motif.
Tuffley was designed in the mid-19th century and was originally created for clothing textiles, reflecting the growing fascination with natural motifs during the era. This design, codenamed 'seaweed' in the design studio captures the essence of organic forms and nature-inspired beauty.
