Astro Nara Lampshade

The Astro Nara Lampshade is a pendant lampshade from Astro's Nara range, designed for architectural simplicity and reliable performance in damp environments. It is intended as the glass shade component for pendant systems and is specified to match the Astro Nara Pendant (available separately).

Formally the shade has a truncated cone profile with rounded shoulders and a wide open base tapering to a narrower top aperture. The minimal, architectural silhouette is balanced by a contrasting black circular rim at the top, giving a clean, high‑contrast detail against the soft opal finish.

Manufactured from frosted glass, the surface offers a matte, translucent white appearance that reads as opal in interiors. The black top collar is integrated into the aperture and provides the mechanical interface for mounting without interrupting the shade's smooth exterior.

The wide open base directs useful downward task light while the glass body diffuses lateral illumination, reducing glare and contributing soft ambient light. With its IP44 rating the shade is suitable for use in bathrooms and other damp spaces where a damp‑rated component is required.

The black top rim is designed to attach to a pendant cord and lamp holder assembly; the Nara Pendant system is available separately. Check compatibility with your pendant's holder and cord length when specifying. The product is covered by a three‑year manufacturer warranty.

At Lighting Design Online we recommend the Nara Lampshade where a calm, considered pendant is required for kitchens, bathrooms or layered schemes. The opal glass provides clarity of light without harshness, and the damp rating and clear mounting detail make it a project‑friendly choice for renovations and new builds seeking lasting, well‑made components.
