20 cm empire-varjostin vadelmanpunaisesta taj-silkistä

I was a little worried the raspberry color might be too bold, but it's actually a rich, even dye that looks elegant on my lamp base. The silk's matte finish catches the light just enough without being shiny, and it adds a soft warmth to the room.

The silk is so light and delicate that it barely feels like there's a shade on the lamp at all, and the matte raspberry tone gives off a wonderfully soft, even glow in the evening. It's a real shame the material is this fragile, but for a bedroom side table it's perfect.

The raspberry colour is exactly as pictured, a true matt dye with no shiny patches, and the silk feels featherlight yet holds its 20cm shape beautifully over my bedside lamp. It's transformed the whole corner of the room, soft diffused light with a rich, uniform tone.
