Editor's Note
This mid-century Stiffel lamp shade brings immediate sophistication to a formal living room or a dedicated home office. The alternating inverted knife pleats create a rhythmic verticality that works beautifully atop a tall, slender brass or wood-toned floor lamp. To balance the heavy texture of the fabric, pair it with smooth surfaces like glass side tables or polished stone. Its warm beige hue diffuses light softly, creating an inviting glow for evening reading. Gently dust the pleats with a soft-bristled brush to maintain the crisp, tailored lines.
