Customers often require CONTEMPORARY lampshades, which usually refers to the styles in vogue and often in design magazines and other publications current and recent home light displays to see.
Defining CONTEMPORARY: Characterized by features of the current period, directly relevant to the present, a certain perspective of modern times
Here's the irony. Lampshades more contemporary today had their origins many decades ago. For example, thepopular today are the DRUM DRUM SHADE SHADE and the apartment. Both in time is 1900. They are contemporary? They are retro? I'm old? Yes Yes Yes
Examples, whose origins are anything but contemporary:
Mica - developed in 1900
Black - still in use for many decades
Coolie - in use for many decades
Hexagon - still in use for many decades
Leather - developed in the early 1900's
Oval - in order to use the time in 1900
Creases - in use inEarly 1900
Rectangle - to use the time in 1900
Square - currently in use in 1900
Beads - developed in the Victorian era (1800)
Canvas - in use for decades
Bouillot - the beginning of 1800 has developed
Canvas - in use at the beginning of 1900
Suede - in use in 1900
Metal - developed many decades ago
Paper - still in use for many decades
Fabric - in order to use the time in 1900
Rattan - in order to use the time in 1900
Wicker - in order to use the time in 1900
String -in use in early 1900
Ummmm ... important question that remains, shadows are what the style lampshades out of fashion? The answer is very few of them may not be as lampshades CONTEMPORARY. The main reason for this puzzle is the increasingly popular method of decorating ECLECTIC different cultures, eras, styles and methods, with elements drawn from different sources together.
There are many subcategories of contemporaries, that I may be able to address in a future article. Thisinclude, funk, industrial and other special type shades, which currently is not widespread.
