Question 1

Can I get a new lampshade for an old lamp base?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Multbær makes lampshades for existing lamp bases. The shape, fabric and proportions are adapted to the lamp and the room it will be in. Please send pictures of the lamp base and mount, along with measurements and a few words about the expression you want.

Question 2

Do you also make unique lamps and lampshades?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Multebær creates unique lamps and handmade lampshades. The work also includes redesigns and custom solutions for retro lamps and other lighting.

Question 3

How do I find the right size for the lampshade?

Accepted Answer

Consider the height and width of the lamp base, its location in the room, and how much light you need. The shade should give the lamp balanced proportions and fit the space it will be placed in. When ordering a custom lamp, Nicola will consider the shape and size with you.

Question 4

What measurements and pictures should I send when I want a new lampshade?

Accepted Answer

Send a picture of the entire lamp, a close-up of the lampshade mount and preferably a picture of its location in the room. Provide the height and largest width of the lamp base. If you have an existing lampshade, the height and diameter at the top and bottom are also useful.

Question 5

Do all lampshades fit all lamp bases?

Accepted Answer

No. The mounting type, dimensions and the lamp's construction must match. A lampshade may be the right size but the wrong mounting. Therefore, please send a clear picture of the mounting when asking for a new lampshade, especially if the lamp is older.

Question 6

How do fabric and color affect the light from the lamp?

Accepted Answer

Lighter and more translucent fabrics usually let more light through the sides. Darker and denser fabrics can give a more subdued look. The inside and shape of the shade also affect the light, so the fabric should be considered both with the lamp on and off.

Question 7

Can I renew the lamp without replacing the entire lamp?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A new lampshade can change the colors, silhouette and lighting effect, while keeping the lamp base. At Multebær, this is a central part of the redesign and reuse work.
