The Regolit lamp is just made for hacking. You can make it shaggy. You can stick cocktail umbrellas on them. Julia opts for a simpler solution to match the lamp to the curtains.
She says, “I bought a pair of curtains at Ikea, a couple of month. I just fell in love with the pattern. So I had the idea to make a pendant Lamp to match with it. It was very simple, the Regolit paper shade has this handmade irregular structure line that reminded me of the lines of the curtain pattern, so I painted dots of different sizes and colors just as on the fabric pattern. Watercolor painting is perfect for this kind of translucent paper. In the end, it looks a bit like a constellation on my bedroom ceiling as well as providing a lovely soft light.”
