Materials: Löbbo, Hemma, scissors, knife
Description: 3 small Löbbo shades were cut on the long side in small strips. These strips were stuck in small cuts I have pierced into one big Löbbo shade, that's it.
It is quite a lot work, it looks best, when the pattern of the strips is rather irregular woven. I also used the non shiny side of the shade in the front - so it looks more natural.
The shades are hung up on the usual Hemma lighting suspension.

never mind the lamps...more pictures of the house please!!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! They look SO expensive!! Wonderful job, very creative, love the lamps. What a shame they don't fit my interior at all, would love to have some of those!
ReplyDeleteI love this--it's a great way to salvage less-than-perfect lampshades. A great recycling idea. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOne of the better hacks I've seen here lately and one I want to do myself.
ReplyDeleteBest hack maybe ever? This takes about 15 dollars of materials and makes them look like 1500. Its just amazing, creative, and beautiful. Great work.
ReplyDeletethis is a Great.... and I will do this!!! Thanks for the idea!!!.............
ReplyDeleteJose A said exactly what I would have said. BRILLIANT! On my way to IKEA now.
ReplyDeleteit looks so cool! Can you give a more detailed description of how to do it?
ReplyDeleteEnd of February and we have the Hack of the year already.
ReplyDeleteIt's me, Vendela:
ReplyDeleteWow, thank you, you make me blush! :)
It ist really easy done, as you can see on the second picture, just pierce the big shade and put one end of the stripe in it, on the other side the other one. No glue needed, just take care, that the hole is not too big. the thinner the stripes are cut, the more work it is and the better it looks!
They are very beautiful.
ReplyDeletecan I pay you to make one for me? These are gorgeous and should be featured in a design magazine. Great job!
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS TO GENIOUS!!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is stunning. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I really really love it. What a brilliant and creative mind does the designer have.
ReplyDeleteThese came out wonderfully! I'm going to convince th bf to do it with me! :)
ReplyDeletewell, woooowwww!!!!
ReplyDeletecool
ReplyDeleteThe Hemma cord is so long, how did you hide all the extra cord? Did you make a ceiling cup? If so what did you make it out of?
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
I would think they are hardwired. You don't hide any cord, you cut and connect it.
DeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeletepure beauty!
ReplyDeleteThe lighting looks awesome. I think I'll try it out for myself and see if I could make one.
ReplyDeleteI really like it, contemporary & creative. It brings a quirky touch in the dining room.
ReplyDeleteI love that bird's nest look in this otherwise minimalist room. Very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy house like most in the US is heated and cooled by forced air, which creates way too much dust to ever even consider such a hard to clean lamp. So sad.

amazing. intense. sooooooooo awesome. i hate to be dumb, but what did the stips come from and how did you get them cut so perfectly even? absolutely fantastic! also, what was the type of pattern that you used to cut the slits in? or are the slits just cut randomly on the shade? how long ...from slit to slit...is each strip, after it is inserted? ae they all different lengths? i just SOOOOO love this!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGenial!!! Einfach top!
ReplyDeleteLOVELY! I don't think I could manage something quite as pretty, though. Far too impatient.
ReplyDeletePippa - two words: condensed air. The kind of stuff you get for your computer. Best duster ever for hard-to-clean things.
They look awesome! How did you cut the shade?
ReplyDeleteI love this--it's a great way to salvage less-than-perfect lampshades. A great recycling idea. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Can I pay you to make some for our office?
ReplyDeleteI dont understand ! It looks amazing but I dont understand how it went from the first image to the second !
ReplyDelete@Martin the 2nd image is the inside of the shade, you can see the small ends of the strips from the inside
ReplyDeletewas the big shade 30 cm in diameter and the small ones 15 cm?
I think is is the 30 cm shade cause I bougth the bigger one and the proportions look different. At least I cut a few cm off and used it for some more strips.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the inner Löbbo has the non-shiny side outside as well? Can't see that on the pictures...
