"I bought a Samtid lamp with a white shade that didn't looked good in front of my white wall. So I decided to hack the lamp. The new shade is made of transparent polycarbonate 1mm thick. I made it a little bit bigger than the original. I fixed the shade with bolts and nuts. For the colour effect I bought felt, added buttons and wrapped it around the shade. I made some more felt wraps in different colours to change! That's it, very easy and fast hack!"
Nice! It's also easy to make different ones and changing them with the decor or mood!

ReplyDeletenicely hacked :)
ReplyDeleteCreative, unique and a masterpiece! Nice dude!
ReplyDeleteNICE WORK.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for sharing. I have a Samtid and the supposedly unbreakable lampshade chipped, so I need to make a new one. This is really brilliant. Done so well too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this idea. I have also seen my 'unbreakable' Samtid lamp shade start cracking all over.
ReplyDeleteI called Ikea for a replacement shade but they don't sell them. Seems like a wasteful position given the poor quality of the shade.
So I've been looking for a 'hack' ;-) This one has given me an idea! Thanks heaps
