Silken Lotus Pendant Lamp — real silk lantern, lotus form, five sizes.
A lantern form constructed from fine silk panels stitched over a white iron frame — its silhouette swells like a lotus in bloom, the scalloped lower edge echoing petals opening outward. The natural weave of the silk softens and scatters the light from within, producing a warm, glowing volume rather than a directed beam — the entire surface of the shade becomes luminous. Quiet, refined, and deeply warm. Available in five sizes from ∅ 40 cm to ∅ 80 cm.
The Silken Lotus is made from genuine silk fabric. When unlit, the shade appears as a soft ivory-cream lantern. When lit from within, the silk becomes translucent — the warm light passes through the weave structure, every thread visible as a fine warm — and the full depth, warmth, and luminosity of the material reveals itself. Packaging creases in the silk will relax naturally once the lamp is installed and warmed by use. Do not steam, iron, or apply heat directly to the silk shade.
Natural silk weave — warm translucent glow, the light passes through the thread structure itself.
Scalloped lower edge — organic form that reads as sculpture from every angle.
∅ 40 to ∅ 80 cm — bulb count scales with diameter for even luminosity.
Bulb count increases with diameter to maintain even luminosity across the full shade. Tap each image to enlarge.
∅ 40 cm∅ 15.7″ × H 11.8″Compatible with LED and Edison filament bulbs. A warm-white LED at 2700–3000 K is strongly recommended — the warm amber tone passes through the natural silk weave and transforms the entire shade into a warm luminous volume. Frosted globe or standard A-shape LED bulbs at 6–8W per socket provide comfortable, even diffusion through the silk. Avoid cool white (5000K+) which reads harsh through natural fabric. The number of bulbs required scales with the shade diameter — see the size cards above for exact bulb count per size.
Guide to E26 and E27 bulb selection →
Natural silk has a warm ivory-cream tone that is deepened and enriched by a 2700 K warm white light source. The amber tone of the light passing through the silk creates a deeply warm, lantern-like ambience that is the Silken Lotus's defining character. This effect is most visible and most beautiful in low-ambient-light conditions — evenings, dining, and bedside use.
