Square Coolie Hardback Lampshades

The square coolie lampshade is a variation on the square pyramid – or deep tapered square lampshade. The coolie lampshade has a smaller square opening at the top, and is shorter, making for a straight moderate slant from the top of the shade to the bottom of the lampshade. The square coolie is most useful as a shade for either a tall square lamp (or square lamp base), or a squat square lamp. For visual interest, the square coolie lampshade can also be used to dress a floor lamp.
