Description
Amberwave has a paisley pattern that’s easier to like than most paisleys. The motif is drawn small, in light blue and warm ochre on a cream ground, so the shade sits between nostalgic and current rather than committing to either. 100% cotton, gathered by hand.
Made in our Sandton studio on a hardback frame. I choose this pattern when a room wants some detail without a print that dominates. The small scale means the shade never competes with a wallpaper or a rug.
The blue-and-ochre palette gives you room to play. On a Beaumont bobbin in Mistbound the cool tones pull forward; on Emberstone the ochre lifts. Either works.
The Amberwave gathered lampshade is handcrafted from 100% cotton and features a delicate paisley floral pattern that feels both nostalgic and refined. A soft cream ground sets the tone, while the intricate paisley detail is drawn in light blue and warm ochre tones, creating a balanced, vintage-inspired aesthetic that sits comfortably in both classic and contemporary spaces.
The gathered construction introduces gentle movement and texture, allowing the fabric to catch the light in soft folds rather than a flat plane. The combination of cool blue and warm ochre gives the shade a versatile palette: calm and airy by day, then softly atmospheric once lit, making it a beautiful choice for bedrooms, living rooms or a cosy reading nook.
Built on a hardback frame for structure and durability, this lampshade is designed to hold its shape and stand the test of time. Style it with a simple ceramic base, or pair it with our hand turned Beaumont bobbin lampstand to echo the vintage feel and create a layered, characterful lighting moment.

Common questions
What lampshade fitter do your shades take?
All Enclave lampshades come with a standard ES (E27) ring fitting that suits most bedside, table and floor lamps in South Africa. If your lamp has a bulb-clip fitter or a European B22 socket, let me know when you order — I can adapt the fitting for you at no extra cost.
Are your shades hardback or softback?
Hardback. Every Enclave shade is bound onto a rigid polystyrene laminate frame — that’s what stops the pleats slumping in humid Joburg summers or coastal weather, and it’s what gives the shade its clean silhouette year after year.
How do I care for my lampshade?
Dust it gently with a soft brush or the brush attachment on your vacuum on low suction, roughly once a month. For a mark or smudge, dab with a barely-damp white cloth — never soak the fabric. Kept away from direct sunlight, an Enclave shade should look as considered ten years from now as the day it arrived.
Can I order a custom lampshade?
Yes. I take commissions in your choice of fabric, colour and size — either from a Sanderson or block-print I already work with, or from a fabric you supply. WhatsApp me on 084 509 5892 with the base you’re pairing it to and I’ll come back with proportions and a quote.
Do you ship nationwide in South Africa?
Yes — every order ships via The Courier Guy, boxed and cushioned so it arrives the way it left the studio. Standard lead time is 3-5 working days from Johannesburg to major centres, and 5-7 to smaller towns. You’ll get a tracking link the moment the parcel is picked up.
Where is Enclave Decor based?
We’re a small handmade lighting studio in Sandton, Johannesburg. Every shade is gathered and bound by hand in our workshop, and the bobbins for our lamp bases are hand-turned by a local South African wood turner, and we do the sanding, colour, wiring and assembly in the studio.
