What are some most interesting designs of Art Deco lamp shaeds?

Pendant Industrial Light

This one could easily be part of Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory. A wide bell provides an excellent downward reflection of the light from the bulb in the center of it. This makes it a good light for a real laboratory, mechanic shops, or art studios where good, clear lighting is a must. Highly utilitarian, it could also figure in a steampunk décor.

Yellow Teardrop Pendant Light

Imagine a room with yellow teardrop pendant lights coming down from the ceiling, deep egg chairs, and an amazingly white molded table. Set the table with thirsty orange dinnerware and molded plastic cutlery for a futuristic style that just won’t quit. You could easily imagine Captain Kirk, Captain Janeway, and Captain Picard all sitting down to tea in such a room. The total effect would be clean and comfortable, but a place where it would be easy to batten down the hatches.

Lamp in a Box

Oh, shades of the industrial age! Several bulbs encased in storm lantern chimneys are arranged inside protective box of slats. The slats are bound at the corners with riveted metal. The effect is light without direction, allowing bright illumination for all corners of the room.

Lamp in a Metal Cage

An Edison bulb encased in a bell of curved metal wires is another fabulous Art Deco lamp shade design. The bottom is left open for ease in changing out the bulb. This one will fit well with a loft, art deco, or even modern décor. While it does not draw attention to itself, it could easily be accompanied by other furnishings that incorporate wires, gears, and similar accouterments.

Stained glass Art Deco lady lamp

Art Deco lamps with slender female figures as base works perfectly for bedrooms or side tables. The silhouettes hold brightly colored glass torchieres suitable for framing almost any kind of light source. To look at this one, you can almost hear the glasses clink and the low voices of men and women gathered at tables beneath clouds of smoke, against the gentle backdrop of a rink-a-tink piano.
