16cm empire kap in beryl 'palmette' linnen van Ellen Merchant

The linen has this lovely weight to it that filters the light into a warm, soft glow—the undulating palmette edge casts the prettiest shadows on the wall. It’s exactly the kind of retro-meets-classical piece that makes a plain lamp feel like a conversation starter.

That playful wiggly palmette pattern is even better in person, and the 16cm size sits perfectly on my small bedside lamp without looking precious. The linen texture gives off a warm, softly diffused glow that makes the whole room feel cozier.

The beryl linen catches the light in a way that makes the wiggly palm leaves almost shimmer, and the 16cm size sits perfectly on my bedside table. It’s got that retro-classic vibe I was hoping for, and the quality feels solid for the price.
