The solid half of the collection: pleated silk and linen lamp shades in one color, where the pleat and the cloth do all the work. A silk lampshade throws a warmer, softer light than a paper hardback — the fabric glows rather than blocking — and the hand-pleating is what separates these from anything you can buy off a shelf. Each is made to order.

Park is a shirred silk pleat in taupe, peach, green or orange, the gathered silk lampshade in its classic form. Brook is a box-pleated silk in cream and off-white; Heath the same box pleat in linen, an empire shape in cream or white. Whitmore is corseted, drawn in at the waist, in off-white. Hill is pleated linen with a contrast band in blue, teal or citron, and Vale is a blue ombre that runs pale at the top to deep at the hem. Pemberton is the outlier and the one people ask about — a scalloped pleated shade in raffia rather than fabric, in white, tan, blue or pink.

These are the shades to reach for when the lamp base is the event, or when a room already has enough pattern in it. If you want the shade to be the pattern, see the printed and patterned shades. To see them fitted to a base, browse the table lamps.
