Inspiration
The Raphia came out of a stack of lampshade samples left sitting on a workbench, largest at the bottom, each one a step narrower than the last. Read as a single object the stack had a rhythm no one shade could hold, so it was kept: three or five fabric drums stepping inward, threaded on a turned wood rod that runs the full height. Light leaves each tier at a different diameter, which is why the glow layers instead of arriving all at once.
Key Features
Tiered Fabric Drum Shades
Fabric drums of stepping diameter on a metal frame, threaded on a turned wood rod, so the light arrives in layers rather than one flat wash.
Plug-In Swag, No Wiring
Hangs from a ceiling hook on a 177″ cord with an inline on/off switch and a standard plug — it reaches spots a junction box doesn’t.
Three or Five Heads
Two widths in Beige or Green, with bulbs included for every socket — three for the smaller size, five for the larger.

FAQ
What kind of hook do I need, and how do I run the cord?
Use a ceiling hook rated well above the fixture weight and fixed into a joist or a proper hollow-ceiling anchor — a drywall-only hook will pull out. Set the first hook where you want the shade to hang, then use a second hook near the wall to turn the cord and take the strain off the run. From there the cord drops to the outlet, and excess can be looped behind furniture rather than cut.
Three heads or five?
Go by the surface below and the light you need. The 3-head suits a bedroom, entry, reading corner, or four-seat table; the 5-head is nearly 5″ wider and taller, with two more sockets, so it holds a six-seat dining table or a living room where this is the main fixture. In a small room the 5-head reads heavy.
Can the cord be shortened?
The 177″ cord is meant to be swagged rather than cut — it’s long so the fixture can hang well away from the outlet. Take up the slack with hooks or a cord clip, or coil the excess behind a bookshelf or sofa. Cutting and re-terminating the plug end is electrician work and isn’t covered by warranty.
