Linda adds zest to the Samtid.
“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!”
