A minimalist eco-friendly paper lampshade that produces a soothing atmosphere. Made to order using recyclable materials, this plastic-free product has a low ecological footprint and produces a calming ambience. The off-white colour of the outward-facing paper is flecked with grain, bringing a subtle texture to this geometric shade. Made in a mill that is 75% powered by regenerative energy, the outer paper is FSC-certified and chlorine-free. The paper sheets are woven together using needles made from 100% hemp paper.
 
The inner sheets of translucent paper soften the direct glare of the bulb, enhancing the warm quality of light that emanates from the shade. The block pattern unifies the base and shade, offering a contemporary style to your bedroom, living room, or study.
 
A novel approach to the cylindrical lampshade, Block Shade uses a hook and groove design to slot the paper and plywood base together and eliminate the need for glue or plastic. Clear step-by-step instructions will enable you to turn this DIY flat-pack design into a self-assembled product.
