Paralume empire 25 cm in lino papavero 'poppies' di Ellen Merchant

The interlacing stems look even better in person—the linen has a subtle texture that catches the light beautifully. I swapped out a plain shade and the whole room feels warmer now, and the 25cm size sits perfectly on my table lamp. This one’s a keeper.

The poppies have this lovely hand-printed quality up close, and the linen lets just enough warm light through to make the room feel cozy without being dim. It’s exactly the right size for my bedside table, and the symmetrical stems give it that old-meets-modern look I was after.

The linocut pattern is so crisp and even—the poppies almost look hand-printed, and the linen has that lovely natural texture that catches the light. I put it on my bedside lamp and it instantly warmed up the whole room.
