25cm extrem empire-skärm i eau de nil, Marquee handmålad kartong

I was a bit worried the card material would feel flimsy, but it's surprisingly sturdy once fitted over the lamp base. The eau de nil stripes are the perfect muted pop of color, and the way the light glows through the hand-painted bands is genuinely lovely.

The vertical eau de nil stripes are painted so crisply that they look almost like fabric until you touch the card and feel its smooth, sturdy finish. It’s got that vintage circus vibe without being kitschy, and it throws a warm, patterned glow across my dining nook.

It’s rare for a lampshade to make me smile every time I flick the light on, but these hand-painted eau de nil stripes do exactly that. The card has a lovely matte finish that catches the light softly, and the bold vertical lines give my room that vintage big-top charm without feeling kitschy. Delive
