Lamp Shade by Samuli Naamanka Awarded EcoDesign Prize at Habitare 2010, Helsinki

All four winning lighting fixtures reflected the main judge Ingo Maurer’s ideas of environmental friendliness, concepts, aesthetics and execution. The central element of the Biodegradable Roll on lamp shade by Samuli Naamanka is its material: polylactic acid made out of starch sugar. Ingo Maurer considered Naamanka’s work the most ecological in the entire exhibition. Furthermore, one of the strengths of the lamp shade is the minor need for material and the ease of production and transportation. By using different types of lamps with the shade, one can easily change the ambience.
