Product Information
Full details
The Merano Folgarida Teal Satin Shade is designed for homeowners looking to add a sophisticated, mid-century modern aesthetic to their table or floor lamps. Its key benefit is the ability to diffuse light elegantly, creating a glamorous ambiance with its teal satin fabric and subtle sheen. A minor caveat is its fixed gimbal, which limits adjustment options. This shade features a durable teal satin fabric, a matt antique brass plate, and a color-matching cotton lining with a rolled edge for a polished look.

FAQs
What style of lamp is this shade best suited for?
This shade is ideal for lamps with a mid-century modern aesthetic, but its classic cylinder shape and sophisticated teal satin finish make it versatile for many contemporary and traditional styles.
What size bulb can I use with this shade?
It is recommended to use LED bulbs. Please check the maximum wattage supported by your lamp base to ensure safe operation and to prevent overheating the shade.
How do I attach the shade to my lamp?
The shade attaches via a fixed 3-leg gimbal system that fits over the bulb holder on most standard table and floor lamps. Align the legs and secure it according to your lamp's design.
What are the dimensions of the shade?
The shade is 380mm in diameter and has a cylinder shape with a 14.5cm drop from the top edge.

No, this shade is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to weather can damage the fabric and metal components.
What color is the lining of the shade?
The shade is lined with a color-matching cotton that complements the teal satin fabric.
Troubleshooting
Shade doesn't fit securely
Ensure the lamp holder's securing mechanism is properly tightened. Check if the shade's gimbal is compatible with your lamp base fitting.
Uneven light diffusion
Verify that the bulb is centered within the shade and that the shade itself is hanging straight. Ensure the bulb is not too powerful for the shade size.
Satin fabric appears dull or marked
Gently dust with a soft dry cloth. If marks persist, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid direct scrubbing.
