LampshadeSharonWe were looking for a lampshade, something neutral colour in this size. This worked perfectly. Werent sure until we got it home and matched it. Was good colour to blend in with the base. I didnt realise Ikea sold lampshades. Would buy again. 5

Large size shade missing reducer fitting.MeganI purchased 2 medium and 2 large of this product - the medium shades included a reducer fitting so the ring that sits on the lamp base can be made smaller to fit a wider range of lamp bases - the largest shade of this design does not include one of those reducer fittings meaning the shade won't fit most Australian lamps - seems like an epic design fail for an other wise great product.1

Lovely lampshade and colour MichaelaI love the Skortorp lampshade and the colour. I bought to go with the Astrid base and remove the Astrid lampshade. however the fitting doesn’t work with the base. So, just check you base and lampshe combo before buying.4

Flat packed lampshade???AlfredI never expected a lampshade to be flat packable, but IKEA has done it and done it in spades! Brilliant, easy to put together, works and looks a charm!5
Perfect neutral grey. Skillfull design from concept to customerSallyI couldn't be happier with this shade and the two matching smaller ones I bought for my Lucite bedside lamps. It works well with my 60+ y.o. carved vintage lamp stand from India and is the perfect neutral grey to work in any scheme. I was a little shocked to find it came flat packed but soon realised how easy it was to put together and was deeply impressed by the whole concept and design process. Even the box is slightly wedged to accommodate the flat pack shade. The skeleton of the shade will've had to be specifically designed to work as a flat pack product. Incredible value for money and quality. The scale of this lamp really worked for me and overall I'm 5/5 ecstatic with this product, it's cost, ease of assembly and performance. This is an example of IKEA at it's best. Thank you.5
Fabulous lampshadeCharmaineI hunted high and low for a lamp shade to fit my vintage lamp stand. All to no avail, until I found this shade. It's perfect! Easy to assembly, great price and looks great.5

Surprised how good it looksPaulNever bought a lampshade in a flat box before, so was doubtful of how it would look. But very surprised it looked really good, and have since bought another. Very good value and quality.5
End result is that thisSallyEnd result is that this looks fabulous and value for money is pretty good but a flat packed lamp shade has proved to be the hardest thing to assemble that I have ever bought from IKEA! I bought 2 but still haven’t found the time to assemble the other one.4

Story

A more sustainable trip for lampshades

It’s quite possible that you’ll be a little surprised when you pick up your SKOTTORP lampshade at an IKEA store or at your local parcel pick-up point. Can a 42 cm diameter lampshade really fit in that flat package? Actually, yes! It was interestingly after an unexpected phone call when we realised that it was high time to package a cone-shaped lampshade in a flat pack.

Gintare Cirbaite, a packaging engineer at IKEA, received the phone call: “It was from an employee at one of our e-commerce distribution centres and he was quite frustrated. Every time he sent a large, cone-shaped lampshade, he had to pack it in a huge box that mostly comprised of air."

A lampshade in parts

Gintare and her colleagues went to visit him and with their own eyes could see that the packaging was unsustainable. “When we transport all cone-shaped lampshades to our stores, we stack them together so that they are protected and take up little space. But e-commerce needed a different solution." Back in Älmhult, Sweden, the team began to dismantle lampshades to investigate whether a flat lampshade could be developed that fits in a flat pack. "Of course it worked!", Gintare comments, showing how with a few clicks, the bottom and top of SKOTTORP both fix to the frame’s metal rings and the lampshade unfolds into a solid shape.

Less environmental impact

More lampshade and less air in each package means several benefits. "We have long been good with packaging that takes up little space and limits the environmental impact of our transports to stores. With SKOTTORP, we also contribute to making our e-commerce transports more sustainable", Gintare notes. "And it’s easier for you to carry your lampshade home – regardless if you’ve bought it online or at a store."
