Frequently Asked Questions
Do the flutes show when it is lit?
Even more so. Light passing through the fabric picks out each ridge, turning the whole shade into a soft striped glow. It is the best reason to hang it where people can see it.
Where does it suit best?
Over a dining table, in a bedroom, or in a hallway with height. Fabric brings warmth to rooms with a lot of hard surfaces.
How much light does it give?
A generous, soft spread. Light comes through the fabric and down through the open base, so you get ambient warmth plus a usable pool below.
Will the flutes flatten over time?
No, they are fixed to the frame rather than simply folded. Keep it dry and the profile stays exactly as it was made.
How do I clean between the ribs?
Vacuum on the lowest setting with a soft brush, running down the flutes rather than across them. Keep it dry and it stays clean for years.
