Dar Antler Drum Shade

The Dar Antler Drum Shade is a 12cm cream cotton drum light shade from the Antler range by Dar, presented as a spare or replacement shade for small lamps and multi-arm fittings.

Its low‑profile drum form is deliberately minimalist: a compact cylinder with parallel top and bottom openings and narrow self‑fabric trim for a clean, monochromatic edge. The modest scale suits clustered fittings or bedside and table lamps where a restrained aesthetic is required.

Constructed in a cream cotton with a subtle vertical weave, the shade uses matching fabric trim at the rims for a seamless finish. The materials and finish are straightforward, emphasising tidy craftsmanship and an unadorned appearance.

The translucent cotton fabric softens and diffuses the bulb’s output to produce warm, even illumination while helping to shield direct glare. Its primary function is to act as a diffuser that reduces contrast and creates a calm ambient layer in a scheme.

Sold as the shade only, this Antler spare is intended to replace or refresh existing fittings; check the 12cm diameter and your fitting’s attachment method for compatibility. Warranty is two years standard, extended to five years with online registration.

As part of Lighting Design Online’s approach, this Antler shade is presented to help you make a design‑led choice: its simple form and honest materials make specification straightforward, while professional assurance and clear project notes reduce guesswork for installations and refurbishments.
