Dar Lampshade Frame

The Dar Lampshade Frame is a metal lampshade frame by Dar, intended as the internal skeleton for a separate lampshade. Its slender, tapered profile and white-coated wire give a restrained, functional silhouette suited to contemporary table and floor lamps.

Its tapered, open-frame form features a small circular base ring and a larger rectangular top ring with inward-stepping notches at each corner. Four vertical wire struts angle outward from the base to support the top ring, creating a flared geometry that accommodates tapered rectangular or square shades.

Constructed from thin, rigid metal wire with a uniform white-coated finish, the frame is lightweight yet durable. The top ring's recessed notches can assist in locating liners or decorative elements, while the design remains visually discreet once a soft covering is applied.

The wire construction minimises internal shadowing, allowing the covering material to deliver even ambient light. The circular base plate includes a central aperture for attachment to a lamp holder, so the frame functions as a shade carrier when secured between a lamp holder and a shade ring or nut.

As a component, the frame is supplied without a fabric covering and is intended to be paired with a separate shade. Check compatibility with your lamp holder and shade depth before assembly. Dar provides a two-year standard warranty, extendable to five years with online registration.

Choose this frame when you want clarity and control over how a shade sits and how light is delivered. Our lighting guidance helps ensure the frame suits the intended shade shape and mounting method, offering project-friendly support and attention to material quality for a considered, long-lasting result.
