Why fabric?

Fabric diffuses light gently, with no harsh shadows, so a room feels warmer and calmer in the evening.

01 · LIGHT

Soft light, never harsh

A fabric shade spreads light evenly through the room. You choose the lining too: a pale foil for more light, or a wallpaper for a light that looks beautiful even when it's off.

02 · SIZE

From bedside to hotel lobby

Diameters from 20 to 150 cm, hung at whatever drop you need. Over a dining table, in a low-ceilinged hallway or in a hotel reception.

03 · FABRIC

Velvet, cotton, prints, wallpaper

Hard-wearing upholstery fabrics that last for years, paired with a foil or wallpaper lining of your choice.

04 · CRAFT

Made to order in the Czech Republic

We don't keep stock. Every light is made to order, just as it has been since 2016.

Send inquiry
Who is Chatta Lumen?

Our virtual lamp designer. She knows our full fabric range, shapes and prices, and looks after your order from the first sketch to the invoice. We then make the light ourselves, in the Czech Republic.

How much does a made-to-measure light cost?

Pendant lights start at CZK 1,990, ceiling lights at CZK 2,190, lampshades at CZK 990 and cushions at CZK 790, all including VAT. Chatta Lumen will give you an exact price for your size and fabric in the chat.

How long does it take, and where do you deliver?

Lead time is usually 3 to 8 weeks, depending on the materials. We deliver free of charge by courier to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland.

How do I pay?

Once you approve the design, you'll receive an invoice in the chat. Payment is upfront, by bank transfer or card. For orders over CZK 100,000 we take a 70% deposit, with the balance due before shipping. Production starts once payment has been received.

How do I choose the right diameter?

Over a dining table, a shade about a third narrower than the table works well. Send us a photo and your room dimensions, and Chatta Lumen will suggest a size and show it in a visualisation.

Can I see the fabric before ordering?

Yes. We send the samples you choose free of charge by DPD, within 24 hours. Just ask in the chat.

Can the inside of the shade be different from the outside?

Yes. You choose a fabric for the outside and either a pale foil or a wallpaper for the lining, a floral one for example. Chatta Lumen will show you the combination in a visualisation.

Can you use my own fabric?

Yes. Send us a photo and the fabric composition. We'll check it's suitable for a lampshade and arrange how to get it to us.

I already have a lamp. Can you make just the shade?

Yes. Send a photo of the lamp and the dimensions of the base, and we'll make a shade to fit.

Do pendant lights come complete, or is it just the shade?

Pendant lights come complete with a fabric cable, ceiling rose and lamp holder, with metal parts in black, white, gold, brass, chrome or silver. Ceiling lights come with a mounting plate. Lampshades are supplied as the shade only, to fit your own base.

What bulb should I use?

We recommend an E27 LED bulb in warm white (2700 to 3000 K). Avoid incandescent and halogen bulbs, which heat the fabric unnecessarily.

How is it installed? Do I need an electrician?

Pendant and ceiling lights connect to the ceiling outlet like any standard light. If you're not experienced with electrical work, have an electrician fit it. A lampshade simply goes onto your lamp.

How do I clean the fabric?

Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment. Don't wet-clean velvet. Cushion covers are removable and machine washable at 30 °C.

Can I use a fabric light in a kitchen or bathroom?

In a kitchen, yes: over a dining table or island, but not directly above the hob. We don't recommend fabric lights in bathrooms because of the humidity.

What's the warranty?

We're liable for defects for two years from delivery. To make a claim, just send us a photo on WhatsApp and we'll resolve it within 30 days.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, free of charge until production starts. After that, we only charge the costs already incurred, mainly any fabric we've bought for you. As every piece is made to order, the 14-day cooling-off period doesn't apply.

Do you sell gift vouchers?

Yes, for any amount. We email it as a PDF, and the recipient then chooses their fabric and shape with Chatta Lumen.
