FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about our aspen slat lampshades.

What is an aspen slat lampshade?

An aspen slat lampshade is a lampshade constructed from thin wooden slats, traditionally used in Nordic lighting. Aspen is lightweight and diffuses light softly, making it ideal for handcrafted lampshades.

Do you make custom lampshades for existing lamps?

Yes. Many of our lampshades are made for existing lamp bases. We adjust diameter, height and structure to ensure proper fit.

What information do you need to start a custom project?

We usually ask for a few photos of the lamp and basic measurements. Based on this information, we confirm feasibility and recommend the most suitable option.

Are your lampshades made in Finland?

Yes. All Maison Lux Finland lampshades are handcrafted in Finland using traditional techniques. Each piece is made individually, not mass-produced.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship worldwide using protective packaging designed for delicate lampshades. International shipping is available upon request.
