20cm empire shade in yolk 'posy' linen by Ellen Merchant

The hand-painted print really does shift as you walk past it; one minute it's a bold squiggle, the next it's blending into the room. It's made my little reading corner feel so much more alive, and the 20cm size is perfect for my bedside lamp without towering over everything.

Finally got it onto my side table lamp and the yolk yellow is even warmer in person, that multidirectional print keeps catching the light differently depending on where I stand. It’s small but it genuinely changes the whole corner of the room.

The hand-painted squiggly stripe moves so much when you turn the shade that it genuinely looks different from every angle, which makes my plain lamp feel like a piece of art. The linen texture is soft to the touch, and the yolk color adds a warm glow that makes the whole room feel sunnier at night.
