Ceiling Light with Shade in Scalloped Cream Cloth

Ceiling Light with a Scalloped Cream Cloth Shade, Wide and Shallow in Two Sizes

The shade is drawn into vertical panels that flare where they meet the rim, so the outline is a run of gentle lobes rather than a circle, and the profile stays wide and shallow rather than deep. That shape is what decides how the fixture behaves: a shallow dome spreads light across a room instead of concentrating it under itself, which makes this a general light rather than a task light. The cloth is cream and handcrafted, and it carries its own texture, so the glow between the panels is never quite even. That is the wabi-sabi side of the piece and the reason it suits a room that is meant to feel lived in rather than finished. Two diameters are offered. At 40 cm it works beside a bed, in a hallway or in a home office; at 50 cm it holds a dining table or a living room on its own. The drop is adjustable at installation and the socket is E27.

Questions about this product

Everything you need to know about this product.

Why is the shade scalloped?

The cloth is drawn into vertical panels that flare at the rim, so the edge reads as a run of soft lobes instead of a circle. It is a shape decision rather than a technical one: it gives the fixture a handmade outline, and it breaks the light at the rim so the edge of the pool below is softer than a straight shade would give.

Is this a general light or a task light?

A general light. Because the dome is wide and shallow rather than deep, it spreads light across the room rather than concentrating it under itself. Over a dining table it lights the table and the room around it at once. If you want a tight pool on a work surface, plan a second source for that job rather than asking this one to do it.

Which of the two diameters should I take?

The 40 cm version suits a bedroom, a hallway or a home office, and a pair works along a counter. The 50 cm holds a dining table or a living room on its own. The profile is the same in both, so the choice is about how much presence you want, not about a difference in how the fixture behaves.

What does the light setting change?

Warm at 3000K reads as evening light and flatters a bedroom or a dining room. Cool at 5000K is the accurate one, for a home office or a work surface. The three color lamp switches between them, which suits a room used for both. The setting is chosen when you order rather than adjusted afterwards, so pick it against the room's main use.

Can the drop be adjusted?

Yes, the height is set at installation. That matters more here than on a narrow fixture, because the shade is wide: over a table the bottom normally sits around 75 to 85 cm above the surface, and anywhere people pass underneath it goes well above head height. Decide the drop while the electrician is still there.

How do I look after the cloth?

Dry care only. Use a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest suction with a brush head, and work along the panels rather than across them so nothing catches at the scalloped rim. Keep water away from the shade, since a damp cloth leaves a mark that stays. Switch the fixture off and let it cool before you start.

Setting the Drop, Choosing the Light Setting, and Living with a Cloth Shade

Three decisions, and none of them is difficult. The drop is adjustable at installation, so decide it before the electrician leaves rather than after: over a dining table the bottom of the shade normally sits around 75 to 85 cm above the surface, and in a hallway or anywhere people pass underneath it goes well above head height. The light setting is chosen when you order, and it changes the room more than the shade does. Warm at 3000K suits a bedroom or a room used in the evening. Cool at 5000K is the one to pick where colors have to be judged accurately, in a home office or over a work surface. The three color lamp switches between them and is the sensible choice for a room that does both. Then the cloth itself: dust it dry with a soft brush or a vacuum on its lowest suction with a brush head, following the panels rather than crossing them, and keep water away, since a damp cloth leaves a mark on cloth that stays. Indoor rooms only.
