David Hunt Lighting Tapered Shade

David Hunt Lighting Tapered Shade is a tapered lamp shade from the Tapered range by David Hunt Lighting. Designed to sit over a lamp base or light fitting, it diffuses light to reduce glare and help create a softer ambient result.

The shade's tapered drum silhouette — slightly narrower at the top than the base — provides a classic, balanced profile. A visible vertical seam and the pronounced slub texture give the shade a tactile, linen-like character suitable for contemporary and traditional interiors.

The exterior is covered in a beige, light-tan fabric with a prominent vertical weave. Internally the shade is lined with a smooth white material intended to reflect light efficiently while the outer fabric provides diffusion.

Open top and bottom apertures allow light to cast both upwards and downwards. The white inner lining maximises light output while the slub fabric softens direct glare to produce a warmer, more balanced ambience.

The shade is designed to fit over a lamp base or light fitting; confirm compatibility with your lamp's fitter and dimensions before specifying. Warranty: 1 year.
