What’s so great about large floor shades?

Even a single lamp dispels the deepest darkness.

Hand painted silk duplex shade with fringe.

Hand made duplex shades come with a spider fitting for ceiling fitting or shade carrier to sit on a base.

The shades in theses photographs are 45cm diameter height 38cm (not including fringe) but I can hand make them in many different sizes.

The past year I have had so much fun designing and making all sorts of floor shades. Small, tall, print, silk, tapered, cone, drum, fringed and not.

The statement that you can make with a good shade on a basic lamp base is so great and brings much functional comfort to a room on a cold winters night. I have a shade on an old wooden base in the corner of my living room and an arc floor lamp which I have a matching slim drum shade on which I can swing over me at nights so I can work underneath sewing and felting .
