Growing up in Danmark I naturally grew up with Le Klint, the hand folded pendant lights and lamp shades created by a number of the best designers and architects in the country. It was hard to find a home that did not at least have one Le Klint lamp over a breakfast table, next to a favorite reading chair or illuminating a dark hallway.
With earlier models made of paper that gracefully yellowed with age the Le Klint shades of today are made from a color stabilized white PVC which is completely washable and anti-static.
I especially enjoy the "washable" part. Since the shade clips onto the cord it's a snap to remove it and if neccessary hose it off over the bath tub.
