A rare piece of Scandinavian textile history, shaped into light.
Imagine the warm glow filtering through a bold, graphic print — one designed in 1991 by Sven Fristedt for the legendary Swedish mill Borås Cotton, and never quite replicated since. This lampshade is handcrafted from a rare vintage cut of that original printed pure cotton fabric, giving it a depth and character that no modern reproduction can match.
The result is a quietly commanding presence: rich pattern, tactile warmth, and a retro elegance that feels at home in a curated living room, a design-conscious bedroom, or anywhere you want light to feel intentional.
Its open-top cylindrical form makes it equally suited as a table lamp shade or a pendant / hanging lamp — simply pair it with your preferred fitting.
