Pleats are a lampshade classic, long reserved for rather formal living room lamps.
Today they are back in smaller formats, on bedside and desk lamps, with a much softer look.
Each pleat catches the light differently: the shade creates an alternation of bright areas and fine vertical shadows, which extends onto the wall behind the lamp.
The fabric filters and softens the light, never letting a harsh point of light through.
It is a late-evening light, the one you leave on while reading.
Beneath the shade, the base is a solid metal globe with a wood-effect finish and printed grain.
The contrast works: matt roundness below, light pleats above.
The whole lamp stays compact, 25 centimetres for the shade and 12 centimetres for the base, small enough to fit on a narrow bedside table, a desk or an entrance console.
The grain warms the room without imposing a style: it goes just as well with light Scandinavian wood as with lacquered furniture or black metal.
This lamp comes in a dimmable model.
Dimmable means the brightness can be adjusted: you go from a clear light, bright enough to read by, to a very low glow that serves as a night light, without changing the bulb or installing a wall dimmer.
That is what lets a single lamp serve all evening, from when you are still working to when you fall asleep.
Three light temperatures are available.
Warm light, orangey yellow, recreates the glow of a filament bulb: it is the most restful in the evening, in a bedroom or living room.
Neutral light, close to daylight, does not distort colours: it suits a living room or entrance for everyday use.
Cold light, slightly bluish, sharpens the attention: it is the light of an office, for reading or working without straining your eyes.
You change the temperature directly on the lamp, and the 7-watt LED bulb is included.
The benefit is real: one lamp instead of three, and a room that changes mood in a second.
A beautiful shape is not enough: the material still has to accept it. Before approving a design, we go through it with the workshops that will make it. Here is how one of our pieces came to life.

It all starts with a trend. We follow what circulates on Pinterest, Instagram and interior blogs, and we spot the styles on the rise. Here it was the natural look: plant fibres, wide shapes, warm tones. We also look at where the piece will live, and this one needs height or width: above a large table, in a stairwell, under a cathedral ceiling.

The style appelle la fibre végétale, mais toutes ne se valent pas. L'osier casse au cintrage, le jonc de mer reste raide. Le rotin, lui, est une liane de palmier grimpant d'Asie du Sud-Est : trempée, elle devient souple et accepte n'importe quelle courbe, puis se fige en séchant. Sur une pièce de cette envergure, ce rapport entre souplesse au montage et tenue une fois sec décide de tout.

This is where many fine ideas stop. Before going further, we ask the workshop what the material really allows: at that span, will rattan hold? The answer comes down to one simple step, soaking. The strands go into water until they turn supple, they can then be bent without breaking, and they set as they dry. Once feasibility is confirmed, we move on to the drawing.

A flared, very open shape, almost a hat, with rods spaced far enough apart for the light to pass between them. The proportions are drawn and redrawn: too flat and the shade dazzles, too deep and it traps the light. A real piece is then assembled and switched on, and we look at the radiating pattern it casts on the ceiling.
Once the design is approved, the workshop starts the production run. The pieces reach the warehouse, where order pickers wrap them one by one before dispatch, ready to dress a new home.
