Alba uses linen blend as part of the whole silhouette, not only the lampshade. The same white woven fabric covers the broad Empire shade and straight cylinder base, creating a continuous surface from top to bottom. Visible crosswoven threads and small slubs keep the monochrome design from looking flat. During the day, the linen blend gives Alba a dry, lightly textured finish that sits quietly beside wood, stone, painted walls, and patterned upholstery. Once lit, the shade reveals more of its weave as light passes between the threads. A small metal connector separates the two fabric-covered forms and gives the lamp a clean visual break. The wide 15-inch shade balances the compact cylinder base, while the 18.9-inch overall height makes Alba practical for a living room side table, bedroom nightstand, entryway console, or low open shelf. Its woven white surface suits organic modern and transitional rooms, while the cylinder base and broad conical shade sit easily with mid-century modern furniture. Alba is plug-in ready, with a white 70.8-inch cord and an in-line on/off switch. Light assembly takes approximately two minutes.
