Our new Paper Bag collection includes the Paper Bag Gong and Paper Bag Bell pendants, which each have a structured shade beneath covered with a fabric skirt atop much like a crinoline for a petticoat. The Paper Bag Sconce wall light is designed with a polished unlacquered brass back plate, which reflects a warm, golden light back into the room.

Each shade is made in one of our sheer linens, butter or milk, in a double layer which has been finished with a whip stitch to give the hem a little structure. The collection is inspired by the relaxed, soft shades first created to cover and diffuse the harsh light of early versions of the Edison bulb, as popularised by the Wiener Werkstätte movement of the early 20th century.
