Handwoven Paper Rope Ceiling Shade | Natural Artistic Wave Form Shade, 40 Centimetres Across

Five centimetres deep and forty across is an unusual proportion for a shade, and it is the whole point. A shade this shallow sits almost flat against the ceiling rather than hanging into the room, so it reads as a woven disc overhead instead of as a shape you have to duck around in a room without much height to give away in the first place. Ceiling height rules out more lighting than any other constraint.

The wave form gives that disc movement. Rather than a flat circle the weave rises and falls across its width, so light escaping through it lands unevenly and the ceiling picks up a ripple rather than a plain ring. It is a decorative shade rather than a fitting, with no wiring, holder or bulb, and goes over a pendant you already own.

Buy it now if a low ceiling has ruled out every pendant you liked. Two colours are offered in khaki and black. Because it is handwoven from paper rope, the weave differs slightly between pieces, so a pair hung in the same room will not match exactly. Use a cool running LED bulb with it, keep it well away from damp rooms, and dust the weave with a soft brush rather than a cloth.
