A lamp shade which can be collapsed to reduce its size for storage and shipping, having upper and lower rings, and a number of supports interconnecting, separating and supporting said rings. In one embodiment, the supports are separate trapezoid-shaped single-piece supports which are disconnected from the rings for collapsing the lampshade. In another embodiment, the supports are separate U-shaped single piece supports which are disconnected from the rings for collapsing the lampshade. In another embodiment, the supports are U-shaped single piece supports loosely attached to the upper ring of the lampshade at the center of each support and which are disconnected from the lower ring for collapsing the lampshade. In all embodiments, the lower ring comprises a multi-part circular band with a hinge feature linking joining ends of each part. The hinge feature allows the bottom ring to be folded to further reduce the size of the lampshade after collapsing.
