Sphere Natural Pleated Paper Lampshade

Features

This beautifully simple and pure white paper lampshade is handmade using the traditional skill of origami. Fashioned into a huge pumpkin shape, the result is understated elegance. The folds are crisp creating exquisite clean shapes and lines when unlit. Lit, this lampshade gives off a warm ambient glow that shows the high quality of the handmade paper.

Please note that it is impossible to make this lampshade from one sheet of paper and overlaps are necessary. They are neatly spaced, executed and designed to be visible when the shade is lit.

Where this item has been packaged flat for some time, you will need to use a fold back clip to hold this in place for the first few hours. This will be provided in your order.
