A lamp is a stack of cut panels that turns a bare bulb into a pattern on the wall. The designs here are engineered around standard E27 and LED tea-light hardware, with panel counts chosen so the shade assembles without a jig.
Open area matters more than decoration: keep at least 35 % of the panel surface open for an LED source and never use an incandescent bulb inside a wooden shade. Every file lists its open-area percentage in the specification table.
Ribbed shades are supplied flat. Steam or damp the ribs slightly before bending, or cut them from 1.5 mm flexible ply, and the curve will hold without cracking along the grain.

Lamps & Lighting — questions we get
2 answers01Are these safe with a real bulb?
Only with LED sources. All lamp designs are dimensioned for LED E27 or LED tea-lights, which stay below 60 °C. Never fit a halogen or incandescent bulb inside a plywood or paper shade.
02How do I stop the ribs from snapping?
Cut with the grain running along the length of the rib, use 1.5 mm flexible ply, and wipe the inside of the curve with a damp cloth ten minutes before assembly.
