The GP & J Baker Tuffley empire shade features gathered cotton in a denim blue, carrying a botanical pattern first designed in the mid-19th century for clothing textiles. The straight empire shape maintains a clean profile while the gathered fabric brings tactile dimension to the nature-inspired 'seaweed' motif. At 35cm, the shade works well with mid-sized lamp bases, balancing the detailed pattern with a proportionate form.
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.
