Our Xiabu Lampshades are made from premium Wanzai ramie, a natural fiber known as "China Grass" for its exceptional breathability and texture. The production follows 14 traditional handcraft steps: from manually harvesting ramie stalks, dew-bleaching (a chemical-free method using morning dew to ferment and whiten fibers), hand-spinning ramie into fine, even yarns, to weaving on antique wooden looms. Artisans with over 5 years of experience meticulously interweave warp and weft to form the lampshade’s fabric, which boasts a delicate, slightly textured surface that softens light beautifully.
We offer three standard sizes to fit most lamp bases: Small (15cm top diameter × 20cm bottom diameter × 22cm height), Medium (18cm × 25cm × 25cm), and Large (22cm × 30cm × 30cm), with customizable dimensions for bulk orders. The lampshade frame is made of durable, lightweight bamboo (eco-friendly and corrosion-resistant), and the Xiabu fabric is securely attached to the frame with hidden hand-stitches to ensure stability. Color options include natural ivory (unbleached) and soft tones from plant-based dyes (indigo, tea brown, sage green) – all non-toxic, fade-resistant, and compliant with EU safety standards for home lighting.
Authentic Intangible Heritage Craftsmanship: Each lampshade is handwoven by artisans trained in the "Wanzai Xiabu Weaving Technique," with no machine substitution in core processes (spinning, weaving), ensuring subtle, unique variations that make every piece one-of-a-kind.
100% Natural & Eco-Friendly: Crafted from renewable ramie fiber and bamboo frames; no synthetic chemicals (no chemical bleaches, no artificial dyes) are used in production, making it safe for homes with kids and pets, and biodegradable at the end of its lifecycle.
Light-Softening Excellence: The handwoven Xiabu fabric has natural micro-pores that diffuse light evenly, creating a warm, gentle glow (avoiding harsh glare from bare bulbs) that enhances the coziness of any space.
Durable & Long-Lasting: Hand-spun ramie yarns resist tearing and fraying, while the bamboo frame withstands daily use; with proper care, the lampshade maintains its shape and beauty for 5-8 years.
Versatile Aesthetics: Combines traditional Xiabu texture with minimalist design, complementing various decor styles (modern, bohemian, rustic, Chinese traditional).
Home Lighting Enhancement: Softens harsh bulb light to create a cozy ambiance in living rooms, bedrooms, studies, or dining areas, elevating the overall decor style.
Decorative Statement Piece: Serves as a focal point for lamp bases, turning ordinary lighting fixtures into unique, handcrafted artworks that showcase cultural taste.
Space Atmosphere Shaper: The natural hue and light-diffusing effect of Xiabu fabric add warmth to cold, modern spaces or balance bold, vibrant decor with subtle elegance.
Meaningful Gift: Ideal for housewarmings, weddings, festivals (Christmas, Chinese New Year), or as a corporate gift for clients who appreciate eco-friendly, culturally significant home goods.
Commercial Lighting Decor: Enhances the ambiance of boutique hotels, cafes, cultural museums, or high-end retail stores, adding a touch of Chinese heritage to commercial spaces.
Cultural Uniqueness: Unlike mass-produced fabric or plastic lampshades, our Xiabu lampshade carries a 1,600-year heritage and National Intangible Cultural Heritage certification, offering irreplaceable cultural value.
Superior to Synthetic Lampshades: Compared to plastic or polyester lampshades, it is breathable (avoids heat buildup around bulbs), hypoallergenic (no harmful chemical emissions), and has a more natural, luxurious texture.
Better Than Cotton Lampshades: Ramie fiber is 3x more durable than cotton, resistant to mildew (ideal for humid rooms like bathrooms or kitchens), and does not shrink – solving common issues with cotton lighting covers.
Safety Assured: The bamboo frame is fire-retardant treated, and the Xiabu fabric meets EU flammability standards for lighting accessories, ensuring safe use with LED, incandescent, or halogen bulbs (up to 60W).
Customization Flexibility: We offer custom sizes, colors, and even woven patterns (e.g., brand logos, traditional motifs) for bulk orders, catering to personalized home or commercial decor needs.
Residential Spaces: Living rooms (table lamps beside sofas), bedrooms (bedside lamps), studies (desk lamps), or dining areas (pendants with Xiabu shades).
Commercial Spaces: Boutique hotels (room lamps), cafes (countertop lamps), cultural museums (exhibition area lighting), or high-end boutiques (display case lighting).
Gifting Scenarios: Housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, Christmas, or as a diplomatic gift for international partners interested in Chinese culture.
Event Decor: Used in traditional Chinese-themed parties, cultural exhibitions, or eco-friendly brand events as unique lighting accents.
Collector Items: Valued by collectors of traditional Xiabu Crafts, intangible cultural heritage artifacts, or artisanal home decor.
Q1: Can the Xiabu lampshade be used with LED bulbs?
A1: Yes. It is compatible with LED, incandescent, or halogen bulbs (up to 60W). LED bulbs are recommended for energy efficiency and minimal heat buildup, which helps preserve the Xiabu fabric.
Q2: How to clean the lampshade if it gets dusty?
A2: Gently dust with a soft-bristled brush or vacuum with a low-power handheld vacuum (using the brush attachment). For small stains, wipe lightly with a damp cloth and mild soap – avoid soaking the fabric to protect the bamboo frame.
Q3: Will the color fade if exposed to sunlight?
A3: No. Our plant-based dyes undergo a 3-step color-fixing process, and tests show the lampshade retains over 90% of its color even after 2 years of indirect sunlight exposure. Direct sunlight for extended periods is still not recommended to maintain optimal appearance.
Q4: Can I order a custom size to fit my unique lamp base?
A4: Yes. We accept custom size orders (minimum 10 pieces for bulk). Provide your lamp base’s top/bottom diameter and height requirements, and our team will craft a perfectly fitting Xiabu lampshade. Contact customer service for a quote and lead time.
Q5: Does the lampshade come with a warranty?
A5: Yes. We offer a 2-year warranty against defects in materials or craftsmanship (e.g., loose stitches, frame damage). If you encounter issues, contact us with photos, and we will provide a replacement or repair
