Dar Elsa Drum Lampshade

The Dar Elsa Drum Lampshade is a blue faux-silk drum shade from the Elsa range by Dar, designed as a decorative diffuser for table and floor lamps. Its clean, cylindrical form and muted slate-blue colour give a composed, contemporary presence suitable for living rooms, bedrooms and lounge areas.

Formally a drum shape with vertical sides, the shade is intended to deliver even distribution of light both upwards and downwards. The listing is for the blue faux-silk version with a 25cm diameter, finished with a neat rolled hem for a seamless edge.

Constructed in a faux-silk textile, the material has a soft sheen and a subtle horizontal weave that catches light across the surface. The solid fabric construction opacifies direct glare while allowing a gentle glow through the weave, emphasising texture as the main visual detail.

The Elsa shade works as a functional accessory for table and floor lamps, reducing bulb glare and creating balanced ambience. It accepts E27 fittings and includes a reducer ring for E14, with bulb not included; the original note specifies a maximum 40W for E27 (non-electronic). The shade is IP20 rated and intended for indoor, dry locations.

At Lighting Design Online we present this shade as a considered finishing piece — a simple way to introduce texture, tone and controlled light into a scheme. We provide clear specification details and project-friendly notes so you can select the right accessory with confidence and achieve a calm, balanced result.
