The GP & J Baker Tuffley 30cm straight empire shade features a mid-19th century seaweed-inspired botanical print rendered in blush pink on gathered cotton. Originally conceived as a clothing textile, the organic, nature-drawn motif translates well to a lamp shade, with the cotton fabric providing a crisp yet warm diffusion of light. The straight empire silhouette gives the shade a clean, defined profile that complements the flowing, irregular forms of the printed pattern.
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.
