18cm pendant shade in Toulouse silk

The way the silk gathers softly when hung creates a much more relaxed silhouette than I expected from a shade this size. It diffuses the light into a warm, gentle glow that transforms the whole corner of the room.

The gathered Toulouse silk catches the light so beautifully, and the matching velvet tape gives it a polished, finished edge. It’s smaller than I pictured, but it makes the perfect little glow above my bedside table.

The velvet tape trim is a lovely touch—it gives the shade a slightly more polished look than I expected from photos. It took a bit to get the gathers to sit evenly when hanging, but once adjusted, the silk catches the light beautifully at dusk.
