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 realised 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.
Light bulb sold separately. IKEA recommends LED bulb E27 globe opal white.

BARLAST
504.378.05This floor lamp with a clean design assembles in a flash. And since the packaging is compact, we can fit many on the same pallet. Good for the environment – and one of the reasons behind the low price.

Assembly difficulty NivaLamp is fine, lamp shade is impossible to assemble.
LampeshadeReginaAll fine, especially for the price. Assembling the lampshade is a task which is unbelievably complicated. Gave up and taped it together.
Best lampFelicityIm so happy with my lamp, I purchased on clearance for only $11.19 and it works amazing plus it looks sleek and stylish. Also came with a bulb.
A pain to put togetherTerisaThe leh was easy but the lamp cover was crazy hard to put together. But in saying that it looks amazing in my lounge.
Floor LampCinuLamp looks good but assembly part is not easy - specially the covering sheet
Easy to assemble EXCEPT for the lampshadeLiamOverall a very easy construction project UNTIL you get to the lampshade, however even that isnt too hard if you watch a youtube tutorial, i couldnt really understand the instructions for the lampshade in the booklet. Good light for 15 dollars tho.
The floor lamp is cool...but?MarciaIt looks nice simple to assemble but the lampshade doesn't connect together..I've had to staple together. However im not complaining. It was $15.99 and they look good.

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 onboard 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.
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.
