Green Fern | Fabric Lamp Shade | Made in NZ
Green Fern Lampshade – Graceful Native Ferns, Handcrafted in NZ
There’s something quietly iconic about the New Zealand fern — and this lampshade celebrates it beautifully. Graceful fern fronds unfurl across a soft cotton fabric, bringing a touch of native bush into your home. The print is lush and detailed, with a natural, organic feel that works equally well in a contemporary interior or a warm, heritage-inspired space.
This is a true Kiwiana piece — designed and handcrafted right here in New Zealand, using quality soft cotton fabric that’s lovely to the touch. Whether you’re a proud New Zealander, a nature lover, or simply someone who appreciates beautifully made things, this shade is a meaningful addition to any room.
The print suits a wide range of lampshade sizes and shapes, from a small bedside table lamp to a large statement floor or ceiling shade.
✨ Handcrafted in New Zealand

To order a lamp shade 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. A guide can be found in the photos.
In the 3rd drop down menu select the ring size of the shade frame.
The options are either bayonet bulb fitting or screw bulb fitting. (See photo). Have a look at your lamp base or ceiling fitting and check if it takes a bayonet or screw fit bulb. This will guide your decision.
If in doubt, select bayonet bulb fitting as this will come with a standard flexible adaptor which can be flipped out to make the bulb holder larger which will then fit a screw bulb. More information.
