Dar Lampshade Frame

The Dar Lampshade Frame is a lampshade frame by Dar, designed to provide internal structural support for fabric, paper or plastic shades. Its minimalist profile and white finish suit considered interiors and light-coloured shade materials.

Formally the frame features a circular base ring with a central hole and two horizontal wire struts, four vertical supports that flare slightly outwards, and a continuous top wire loop with inward-curved notches on two opposing sides. The flared four-post arrangement is intended to support a tapered, four-sided lampshade and to define the shade silhouette.

Construction is from a thin, rigid wire finished uniformly in solid white with a smooth surface texture. The monochromatic coating keeps the structure visually discreet under light or semi-transparent shade materials, allowing the shade fabric to remain the primary visual element.

The frame's minimal structure keeps internal support unobtrusive so the shade's intended ambience and clarity are preserved. The notched top rim provides fixed anchoring points for the shade material and helps maintain an even profile around the lamp holder.

Installation is straightforward: the circular fitter at the base is designed to secure the frame onto a lamp socket or bulb holder. Warranty cover is two years as standard, extendable to five years with online registration. Check shade and lamp compatibility for heat rating and bulb type before final assembly.
