The 18-Inch Tapered Drum Shade is a quiet expression of natural elegance—modern in form, timeless in feeling. Whether you're creating a cozy reading nook or updating a beloved lamp base, this shade brings the outdoors in with a refined simplicity that suits both traditional and contemporary spaces. Each one is made by hand using real cocoa leaves, sustainably gathered and carefully arranged to highlight their delicate vein patterns. These fossilized leaves are dyed with non-toxic colorants and laminated onto a durable UL-certified lamp backing, creating a translucent canvas that glows from within when lit. At nearly two feet wide, this shade becomes a focal point—subtle but impossible to ignore. It's framed with wrought iron and designed to pair seamlessly with floor or table lamps. For those who find comfort in organic forms and purposeful design, this shade offers more than just light—it offers atmosphere.
