I create my paper lampshades to bring beauty, light, and calm into everyday spaces while keeping environmental impact as low as possible. As a self-employed artist and designer, I work with materials and tools I can manage from my studio, blending creativity with practicality. I’m continually inspired by the therapeutic qualities of nature—its shapes, textures, and calming presence—and this influences every design I make. I also enjoy working with repetitive forms and geometric shapes, which appear in some of my lampshades. Each piece balances craftsmanship, sustainability, and nature-inspired aesthetics, resulting in functional lighting that nurtures a sense of calm and wellbeing at home.

Safety information

Oak Shade is a paper lampshade made from paper, hemp, and a plywood base. The plywood is treated with Flametect C-WDplus clear flame retardant to reduce fire risk. The shade is compatible with both Edison Screw (E27) and Bayonet Cap (B22d) ceiling fixings. Only use LED bulbs between 6–9 W. Do not use halogen or incandescent bulbs, as these produce excess heat. There is a minimum distance of 8 cm between the bulb and the paper shade (based on a 6 cm-wide LED bulb or smaller). Contains small parts; keep out of reach of children under 3 years. Assemble only as instructed to ensure stability. Bulbs and electrical fixings are not included; follow local electrical regulations during installation. Paper and hemp parts can be recycled in household bins; the plywood base can be recycled at local centres (check local guidance outside the UK).

Full description

Bring a gentle, earthy glow into your home with the Oak Shade, a paper lampshade inspired by natural forms and simple materials. Four paper panels—two lightly translucent and two more opaque—layer together to create soft texture and a warm, calming light. Each piece slides onto a fire-treated plywood base using a hook-and-slot design, so the shade goes together without glue or plastic. Most of the assembly work is already done for you, leaving only a few satisfying steps to finish at home.

The grain of the paper and the flowing cut lines create subtle, leafy silhouettes when lit, making the shade a lovely addition to bedrooms, reading corners or quiet workspaces. Made with 100% recycled cartridge paper and finished with decorative hemp paper needles, it’s a lightweight, eco-conscious piece that suits many interior styles. The design is influenced by my love of nature’s calming shapes and my aim to create objects that feel both soothing and practical in everyday life.

What’s included: paper panels, two hemp paper needles, plywood base, instructions.

Size: inner opening 3 cm; width 24.5 cm; height 29.5 cm.

Bulbs: E27/B22d, LED 6–9W recommended.
