Jade Ell Designs | Fantail Dance on Midnight Black | Lampshades

Moody, dramatic, and deeply rooted in the natural world of Aotearoa. This striking lampshade fabric features Fantail Dance on Midnight Black, one of the debut designs by Wellington-based illustrator and artist Jade Ell. Against a rich, inky black background, golden pīwakawaka (fantails) take flight through a lush canopy of native ferns, dark foliage, and deep jewel-toned botanicals — a design that feels both wild and sophisticated. Drawing inspiration from the native bush and birdlife surrounding her Eastbourne home, Jade's illustration captures the energy and beauty of the New Zealand outdoors with extraordinary detail. The midnight colourway gives this design a bold, contemporary edge — equally at home in a modern interior as it is in a richly layered, eclectic space. Each shade is handcrafted by Shades at Grays, bringing together Jade's locally designed artwork and quality lampshade making in a piece that is as much art as it is lighting. Available in 21 sizes Choose from 21 different lampshade sizes to find the perfect fit for your space — from compact bedside table shades to statement floor lamp sizes. Select your size from the options above. Details Fabric: Jade Ell 'Fantail Dance' on midnight black Handcrafted in New Zealand by Shades at Grays 21 sizes available — tapered and straight-sided silhouettes Suitable for table lamps, floor stands, and ceiling pendants Made to order Refer to the size charts in the photos to determine the perfect dimensions for your lampshade. All sizes are numbered for easy selection. Use the drop down menus to make your choice. To order a lampshade in this fabric: In the 1st drop down menu select the style and shape of lampshade — all dimensions are illustrated in the photos. Ceiling lights are best chosen from the straight sided options and most of the tapered shades are only suitable for table or floor stands and are not available for ceiling pendants. In the 2nd drop down menu select whether your lampshade is for a table lamp / floor stand, or to be hung from the ceiling. In the 3rd drop down menu select the ring size of the shade frame — either bayonet or screw bulb fitting. Check your lamp base or ceiling fitting to confirm which you need. If in doubt, select bayonet bulb fitting as this will come with a standard flexible adaptor which can be flipped out to fit a screw bulb. More information.
