The Reverse Cascade Three-Tier shade is like a wedding cake turned upside-down. The retro mod style recalls late 1950s-early 1960s lighting design. The shape looks a bit unusual at first, because we’re used to seeing shades taper from narrow at the top to wide at the bottom, but we don’t recall there being a law that says all shades must conform to the traditional small top/wide bottom cone shape. We can make this style as a pendant lamp or as a lampshade.
The dimensions on the one above are 18″ diameter top tier, 13″ dia. middle tier, and 8″ bottom tier. The heights — both the total height and the height of the respective tiers — can be customized. Experimenting with the heights of the different tiers makes for some interesting variations of the basic configuration. We also make a somewhat smaller version of this retro mod shade, with 15″ dia. top tier, 10″ dia. middle tier, and 6″ dia. bottom tier.

Upside down light fixture, great for larger dining spaces.
This shade is the same as the XL Reverse Cascade at the top of the page, except the colors of the top and bottom tiers have been reversed.

I am interested in the reverse cascade lamp pictured at the top. I like the colors and design as they are pictured.How much would it be for the smaller version?
Hello. Can you please send us dimensions and price for this lamp :???
Thank you very much !!
Please check the reverse cascade 3-tier lampshade & pendant lamp page in our fiberglass lampshade store
what is the spread on this fixture? is it very narrow?
The top diameter for bounced light off the ceiling is 18″ diameter, and light emits straight down from the 8″ bottom tier. Some light also spills through the 2.5″ gaps between the tiers The material is translucent, so diffused light radiates through the material as well.
