Beskrivning
Broad red and white stripes running the full height of the shade, in the colours of a Swedish polkagris — the striped rock sold at every Christmas market in the country. It is a cheerful, confident pattern, and it is unapologetic about it.
The white bands carry the light and the red bands hold it back, so the shade glows in alternating stripes once the lamp is on.
The obvious shade for a Christmas table — though red and white is a Swedish summer palette every bit as much as a winter one.
Fits most lamps, not only ours
Whimsical Stripes is built on a universal E27/E14 ring fitting — the standard by which lampshades and lamp bases are matched across Europe. It sits on every Von Norten base, and on most table lamps from other makers, corded or rechargeable. If your lamp takes an E27 or E14 bulb and carries its shade on a ring fitting, this shade will fit it.
Because the fitting sits partway inside the shade, a shade does not add its full height to the lamp. This one adds 10.5 cm:
- Athena (18 cm base) → 28.5 cm
- Athena Slim (22 cm base) → 32.5 cm
- Amalfi and Chelsea (25 cm base) → 35.5 cm
- Antibes (29.5 cm base) → 40 cm

Frequently asked questions
Will this lampshade fit my lamp?
Almost certainly. Whimsical Stripes uses a universal E27/E14 ring fitting, the standard by which shades and bases are matched across Europe, so it is not tied to Von Norten lamps. It fits every Von Norten base — Athena, Athena Slim, Antibes, Amalfi and Chelsea — and most table lamps from other makers, whether corded or rechargeable. The test is simple: if your lamp takes an E27 or E14 bulb and holds its shade on a ring fitting, this shade will fit.
How much height does this shade add to the lamp?
10.5 cm. The ring fitting sits partway up inside the shade, so the shade does not add its full height — on an Athena base the finished lamp stands 28.5 cm tall.
What size is this shade?
Medium. Medium is the most-chosen size and suits every base in the range.
Can I buy the shade on its own?
Yes. Von Norten shades are sold separately from the lamp bases, so you can build a collection and change the look of one lamp through the year.
Is the shade suitable for outdoor use?
In dry weather, on a covered terrace or table. Fabric shades should be brought indoors if it rains.
