Dar Hatton Tapered Drum Shade

The Dar Hatton Tapered Drum Shade from the Hatton range is a classic tapered-drum (empire) light shade finished in gold faux silk with distinctive pinch-pleat detailing. It is designed to diffuse light from a lamp while acting as an elegant decorative element in living rooms, bedrooms and other dry indoor spaces.

Formally restrained, the Hatton shade tapers gently from top to base and is decorated with vertical pinch pleats gathered to form a subtle diamond geometry. The top and bottom rims are finished with a matching fabric binding; this model is supplied in a 25cm tapered drum size.

Constructed from a gold-tone faux silk fabric, the exterior has a soft sheen while the interior takes on a warm amber tone when illuminated. An internal frame reinforces the structure, and the pleating gives three-dimensional texture that creates depth through light and shadow when the lamp is on.

The shade’s primary function is to provide soft, ambient diffusion rather than direct task lighting: the fabric and pleating soften the bulb’s output and produce a warm glow suitable for bedside lamps, side tables and decorative floor lamps. The design leans traditional and decorative, lifting schemes that benefit from texture and warmth.

Product notes: this is an IP20-rated indoor shade intended for dry locations and for mounting on lamp bases; bulbs and lamp fittings are not included. The shade carries a standard two-year warranty, extendable to five years with online registration.

At Lighting Design Online we recommend the Hatton shade where a considered, textural ambient light is required. The combination of refined detailing and solid construction makes it straightforward to specify with confidence; our product information and warranty provision provide professional assurance for renovation and new-build projects alike.
