Cordless Lamps

A lamp that never asks where the socket is.

The 150 mm shade on a rechargeable base. Dinner outside, a balcony, a bathroom shelf, the middle of a table with nothing running under it.

Not on sale yet Expected around RM338.00, complete

USB-C

Charged from the cable you already have

The base takes the same cable as your phone. How long it runs depends on how bright you keep it - the dimmer is the difference between an evening and a weekend.

No bulb

The light is inside the base

An LED module in the base rather than a bulb in the shade. It runs cool, which matters more here than anywhere else in the range: a cordless lamp is the one people pick up by the shade, and the shade is 0.42 mm of recycled PETG.

60% / 23%

The colour is the product

Bone passes about 60% of the light and fills a table with it. Slate passes about 23% and gives you the pattern and almost nothing else. Pick by what you want the light to do.

0.42 mm

One bead thick

A single continuous wall, no infill. Thin enough that the material itself glows rather than merely holding a shape.

Put it down anywhere.

Printed to order in Malaysia, one at a time, in a wall a single bead thick.

If you are not sure

Which size should I choose?

The measurement is the widest part of the shade, which is how lampshades are sold and how they are shelved.

Small suits a bedside table or a shelf. Table is the one most people want and fits a standard table lamp. Pendant is wider and shallower because it is seen from below and further away.

If the shade is going on a lamp you already own, measure the widest point of the old shade rather than its height.

What does the colour change?

More than the look. The wall is 0.42 mm thick, so the colour decides how much light gets through it as well as what colour that light is.

Bone passes about 60% of the light and gives the softest, most even glow. Slate passes about 23%: switched off it reads as a solid dark object, and switched on almost all you see is the pattern itself. Clay sits between them and throws amber.

Choose bone or sand if the lamp is meant to light the room. Choose clay or slate if it is meant to be the thing you look at.

What it is made of

Recycled PETG, matte. The feedstock is post-consumer drink bottles and post-industrial spool waste, reprocessed into filament rather than pressed into new pellets.

It was chosen on merit before it was chosen on principle. PETG is tougher than the PLA most printed shades use and far less brittle, which matters more here than on a solid object: the wall is 0.42 mm, and a thin PLA shell is genuinely fragile. It also softens at around 80 C rather than 60 C, so a sunny windowsill stops being something to think about.

It costs something real. A shade in this material takes roughly two to three times as long on the machine as the same shade in PLA, because PETG needs more cooling between layers and a thin shell gives it nowhere to lose that heat. That is the reason the range is short and nothing is printed before it is sold.

Recycled stock varies slightly from batch to batch, so two shades bought months apart may not be an exact colour match. That is what reclaimed material looks like, and it is the reason every colour here is described by what it does to the light rather than by a swatch.

How does it attach to my lamp?

Every shade has an E27 ring built into it, printed as one piece with four spokes. E27 is the ordinary large screw fitting used almost everywhere outside North America.

It drops over the lampholder and is held by the shade ring, the same as a fabric shade. Nothing is glued and nothing needs assembling.

If you have no lamp yet, add the cord set to hang it, or the wood base to stand it on a table.

Which bulb, and why it matters

LED only, 6 W or less, and this one is not a preference.

The shade is printed in recycled PETG, which softens at around 80 C - twenty degrees more headroom than the PLA most printed shades use, which is why a sunny windowsill is not a worry. An incandescent or halogen bulb inside an enclosed shade goes far past 80 C too, so the rule has not changed with the material. An LED runs cool enough that it never gets near.

2700 K is the warm white these are rendered and finished against. A cooler bulb will make bone look grey.
