Dar Ulyana Light Shade

The Dar Ulyana Light Shade is an empire-style pleated lampshade from Dar, designed for classic, considered interiors. The 45cm ivory faux-silk tapered drum shown is intended to sit over E27 pendants or atop table and floor lamps, providing a calm, decorative housing for your lamp.

Its tapered, conical form is defined by vertical knife pleats that run the full height of the shade and a matching fabric trim at the top and bottom edges. The pleating gives the shade a rhythmic, textural surface and a timeless silhouette suitable for both traditional and transitional schemes. The Ulyana is also offered in a range of sizes and colours to suit different fixtures and scales.

The shade is finished in a soft, faux-silk fabric that conceals an internal frame; the trimmed edges neatly conceal the construction. The top and bottom are open to allow heat dissipation and to let light emit both upwards and downwards while the pleated surface produces soft highlights and gentle shadowing.

Light is delivered as a soft, diffused glow rather than a focused beam, making this shade suitable for ambient lighting over dining tables, beside beds or in living areas. It is designed to suit any E27 pendant, floor or table lamp and carries an IP20 rating for interior, dry-zone use.

Practical notes: the shade is supplied without an integrated light source and is compatible with standard E27 lamps — check your lamp-holder and clearance before specifying. Warranty is two years as standard, with an extended five-year warranty available when you register the product online.
