When the assembled lamp stands next to the packaging, it can be hard to see how it can fit there at all. A part of the explanation is the cross-shaped base. “We realized that we could make a cross instead of a round base – both to save material and to make the lamp dividable. The cross also adds a unique design element.” The lampshade is made of soft plastic and rolled up like a tube in the packaging. When mounted on the lamp base, it spreads the light both evenly and beautifully.

Ratings and reviews
Lampshade Product/Material SaraniyaThe lampshade is made from a flimsy binder-like material that is very difficult to shape and assemble as described in the instructions. It doesn’t hold its form, and attempting to put it together causes the material to bend and look uneven. The result is not aesthetically pleasing at all.
Lampshade is piece of paperJackLight shade is really cheap, difficult to put together, easily dents
Worst product MayankIt’s really worst product I have purchased, it’s hard to setup
Bad lamp shadeVictoriaThe lamp shade is a rolled up plastic sheet, I had to tape it together because it wouldn’t connect, there’s no adhesive to hold it. Only a sort of puzzle piece groove. I’d spend the extra knowing what I do now for another lamp lol. Will probably change the lampshade soon.
Value is in the priceDanaThe Barlast lamp is an inexpensive way to put light into a space. Components are surprisingly sturdy. Gave only 3 stars due to difficulty in getting the shade shaped. Had to resort to some adhesive tape to keep it together & yes I rolled it backward when it came out of the box.
Didn’t receive the complete productSunaliI know the bulb is separate but I didnt receive the bulb holder with the wire only. Not sure if its just me.
Clumsy item SandeepThat is why it was on sale. The three prongs under bulb are free falling. Had to tape them just after 2 days and 20 times prongs which hold the shade up fall. Power cord is kinda small.
It was great.ShreyaI was just expecting the land shade to be better quality
Cheapest everAnonymous reviewerThe lamp shade is a rolled up piece of paper…
Bang for you BuckPamEverything fit in one little box, I thought where’s the shade. It’s in there!
Perfect amount of light. Love it!!
Perfect space saverJulieEasy to assemble, perfect lighting solution for small spaces.
Simple and stylish!RichardCan’t beat the price for the look!
Superb job in lighting my bedroom!CpI don't often buy lamps but in an old apartment lacking ample light, this lamp was remarkable in its throw! Bonus--I found it in the AS-IS section!
Good for priceCindyIt was fairly easily to assemble except for the lamp shade.
low budget lamp Irisonly the thing is not great is the lamp cover, it has a bad shape.
NiceHennadiiNice
Good quality, good pricePierreGood quality, good price
Expected moreAlejandraIt's easy to build but the lampshade is not good at all, it doesn't keep a rounded shape no matter what you try and looks lopsided, would not recommend since you will have to buy a different lampshade
Works well, worth the moneyDorsaIt looks good and works just fine. I needed a cheap lamp for my room and this one works well.
Horrible product!MohammedA piece of paper!! are you kidding me??!!!

Story
Big design in a small package
Every now and then you need to think outside the famous box to achieve something innovative. But, when we developed BARLAST lamp, we instead stayed inside the box. The goal was a really good lamp at a really good price, and that made the packaging a decisive starting point. From there, we worked our way backwards with materials and design.
Cecilia Sondell Banke, one of our product engineers involved in the work with BARLAST, explains why the packaging can be so crucial for the price: “Transportation is often an essential part of the product cost. By packing the lamp efficiently, we avoid transporting air, and the total cost becomes lower.”
Cross-shape creates stability
Low price challenges creativity
A lower price must never mean compromises with quality. To secure stability and that BARLAST fulfils all legal demands, we made thorough calculations and tough tests. “The products with the lowest price are often the most challenging to develop. All our specialists need to be on board from the start, and we have to think through the whole process step by step. But, they are also very creative projects that we learn a lot from. And when it comes to BARLAST it resulted in a really nice lamp in a small package,” Cecilia sums up.
Material
What is steel?
Steel has unique characteristics when it is stretched and shaped since it remains strong. It provides strength to everything from skyscrapers and cars to bed frames and outdoor furniture. The steel industry is moving in the direction of more energy-efficient production and stronger steel qualities. It doesn’t lose any of its properties when recycled and today steel is one of the most recycled materials in the world.
Form design process
Big design in a small package
Wonder how BARLAST can fit in that small package? Well, that’s quite reasonable. A part of the explanation is the cross-shaped lamp base, which makes it dividable, and that the lampshade is rolled-up like a tube. When the package takes up little space and can be transported efficiently, the cost and the price become lower. It also makes it easier for you to bring your lamp home where it can spread an even and beautiful light in the room.
