Artemide Lampshade

The Artemide Lampshade is a tapered lampshade from the Italian maker Artemide, conceived to provide soft, even diffusion from a concealed light source. Its classic frustum profile balances a clean, contemporary silhouette with a familiar lamp aesthetic and performs as an ambient light modifier.

Formally the shade is a tapered drum with neat, sharp edges and a minimalist finish. It is offered in two surface options — Parchment Paper and Silk — and comes in three sizes: Small, Medium and Large to suit different scales of lamp or scheme.

The exterior is finished in a finely textured fabric appearance, presented in an off‑white, cream tone that reads as neutral and quietly tactile. The material allows a measured translucency so the shade itself emits a soft glow while retaining a smooth, matte surface.

Internally the shade is formed to sit on an internal frame that mounts to a lamp base and shields the bulb, helping to reduce glare and improve visual comfort. The construction is purposely straightforward to keep the focus on proportion and light quality.

The listing does not specify an integrated LED or included lamps; bulbs, transformers or drivers are not stated as included and should be selected separately to suit your lamp and dimming requirements. A five‑year manufacturer warranty is provided with the product.
