Kyoto-based artist Yukiko Morita loved bread so much that she created a bread lamp so she could display it in her room and stare at it.
The Pampshade is the result of her work. It is a bread lamp made from actual baked bread (comprising only bread flour, salt, yeast), with added LED, batteries, and ‘some other secret ingredients’.
Pampshade combines the word ‘lampshade’ with the Japanese word for bread, ‘pao’. She has created Pampshades in the shape of baguettes, croissant, batard, and other shapes.
Each loaf is coated with a layer of resin in order for it to stay as a useable lamp without rotting.
Her work is currently a part of the 2014 Tokyo Design Week.
