David Hunt Lighting Silk Rectangular Lamp Shade

David Hunt Lighting Silk Rectangular Lamp Shade is a considered lamp shade from an English maker. The design combines a modern rectangular silhouette with softly rounded corners and a tactile, slubbed silk exterior, intended for use with lamp bases or suitable ceiling fittings.

The form is deliberately restrained: a rectangular footprint with soft corners that suits narrow surfaces such as consoles or sideboards, while the open-top and open-bottom design allows light to travel both upwards and downwards. The shade is shown with a matte white lining to maximise reflection and is available with alternative linings.

Shades are manufactured from 100% silk with a visible vertical grain that gives surface depth. A hidden internal frame provides a rigid structure that keeps the fabric taut and the edges neat.

The shade diffuses light to hide the lamp and deliver balanced ambient illumination; the open ends create uplight and downlight, while lining choices—white laminate or gold, silver and bronze metallic linings—alter the reflective quality of the inner surface.

Fitting depends on the lamp base or ceiling fitter you plan to use, so please confirm compatibility before ordering. There are no integrated drivers or lamps supplied with the shade. The product is supplied with a 1 year warranty.

At Lighting Design Online we present this shade as a design-led choice for interiors where texture and calm ambience matter. We offer measured, practical guidance to ensure the shade’s scale, lining and finish deliver the intended result, combining clarity of specification with project-friendly support.
