What you get A working lamp, or the shade on its own.

What do I actually get?

Complete lamp is the whole thing: the printed shade, a lampholder wired and ready, and the right LED bulb. Table and small sizes come on a turned wood base with an in-line switch; the pendant comes with a two-metre braided cord and a ceiling rose.

Shade only is the printed shade by itself, with its E27 ring. Choose it if you already own a lamp or a pendant fitting you like and only want to change what sits on it.

If you are not sure, take the complete lamp. It arrives working, and it comes with the bulb these shades are designed around.

Size Pick the one that fits the room.

Which size should I choose?

The measurement is the widest part of the shade, which is how lampshades are sold and how they are shelved.

Small suits a bedside table or a shelf. Table is the one most people want and fits a standard table lamp. Pendant is wider and shallower because it is seen from below and further away.

If the shade is going on a lamp you already own, measure the widest point of the old shade rather than its height.

Colour

Bone

Warm white. The most light, the softest pattern.

What does the colour change?

More than the look. The wall is 0.42 mm thick, so the colour decides how much light gets through it as well as what colour that light is.

Bone passes about 60% of the light and gives the softest, most even glow. Slate passes about 23%: switched off it reads as a solid dark object, and switched on almost all you see is the pattern itself. Clay sits between them and throws amber.

Choose bone or sand if the lamp is meant to light the room. Choose clay or slate if it is meant to be the thing you look at.

What it is made of

Recycled PETG, matte. The feedstock is post-consumer drink bottles and post-industrial spool waste, reprocessed into filament rather than pressed into new pellets.

It was chosen on merit before it was chosen on principle. PETG is tougher than the PLA most printed shades use and far less brittle, which matters more here than on a solid object: the wall is 0.42 mm, and a thin PLA shell is genuinely fragile. It also softens at around 80 C rather than 60 C, so a sunny windowsill stops being something to think about.

It costs something real. A shade in this material takes roughly two to three times as long on the machine as the same shade in PLA, because PETG needs more cooling between layers and a thin shell gives it nowhere to lose that heat. That is the reason the range is short and nothing is printed before it is sold.

Recycled stock varies slightly from batch to batch, so two shades bought months apart may not be an exact colour match. That is what reclaimed material looks like, and it is the reason every colour here is described by what it does to the light rather than by a swatch.

Add to it Optional, and easy to add later.

How does it attach to my lamp?

Every shade has an E27 ring built into it, printed as one piece with four spokes. E27 is the ordinary large screw fitting used almost everywhere outside North America.

It drops over the lampholder and is held by the shade ring, the same as a fabric shade. Nothing is glued and nothing needs assembling.

If you have no lamp yet, add the cord set to hang it, or the wood base to stand it on a table.

Which bulb, and why it matters

LED only, 6 W or less, and this one is not a preference.

The shade is printed in recycled PETG, which softens at around 80 C - twenty degrees more headroom than the PLA most printed shades use, which is why a sunny windowsill is not a worry. An incandescent or halogen bulb inside an enclosed shade goes far past 80 C too, so the rule has not changed with the material. An LED runs cool enough that it never gets near.

2700 K is the warm white these are rendered and finished against. A cooler bulb will make bone look grey.

Printed for you after you order, so colour and texture vary very slightly from one shade to the next.

Horizontal swells in relief; the glow moves as you walk past.

Horizontal swells in relief; the glow moves as you walk past.

Ordered as a complete lamp it arrives working: the printed shade, a wired lampholder on a turned wood base (or a two-metre cord set and ceiling rose for the pendant), and the LED bulb it is designed around. Ordered as a shade only, it is the shade and its E27 ring.

Printed as a single continuous 0.42 mm wall, so the material itself glows rather than merely holding a shape. An unbroken wall, on a ogee silhouette.

Printed in recycled PETG — reclaimed drink bottles and spool waste rather than new pellets. Tougher and far less brittle than the PLA most printed shades use, which matters at this wall thickness.

LED only. The shell softens near 80 °C. Fit an E27 LED bulb of 6 W or less — never an incandescent or halogen bulb.

Living with it

Dust it with a dry brush or a puff of air; the perforations catch a cloth. Do not put it in water and do not put it near heat — the shell softens around 80 °C, which is why the bulb matters more than anything else on this page.

Because each shade is printed rather than moulded, colour and texture vary very slightly from one to the next. That is the difference between a piece and a copy of a piece.
