The GP & J Baker Tuffley empire shade features a straight empire form in gathered cotton, presenting the denim-toned 'seaweed' botanical pattern developed from a mid-19th century clothing textile design. The gathered construction adds depth and texture to the fabric's surface, allowing the organic motif to shift subtly with the folds. At 45cm, the shade provides a mid-scale option suited to standard table and floor lamp bases.
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.
