ECO Lamps: Brilanta Brano
Lampshades for ECO Lamps from the Brilanta Brano collection are made of the only material in the world based on wheat bran. The wheat bran used in the material is a production waste from the pasta-making process.
The material from which ECO lamp shades for Brilanta Brano lamps are produced was developed by the Polish, award-winning startup GREENFILL3D, which created it as part of a research and development project carried out in cooperation with the MASPEX Group – the largest food producer in Poland and one of the largest in Europe. Originally, ECO POS – innovative advertising stands presenting Lubella brand pasta in large-area stores – were realized from bran material. COLORISED decided to use it to produce original lamp shades for ECO Lamp.
The material is a composite of wheat bran, polylactide (a bioplastic made from corn starch) and other fully biodegradable ingredients, which together give the material its unique properties. Once manufactured, ECO lamp shades are resilient and somewhat flexible (depending on the thickness of the wall), which makes them quite difficult to break. A large share of these properties is due to the fibrous structure of wheat bran, which provides the aforementioned resilience on the one hand, and the unique roughness of the surface on the other. Moreover, during the manufacturing process, the material has a smell of baked bread, which lingers on the finished lamp shades for some time.
ECO lamp shades can be ordered directly from COLORISED or through a growing channel of distribution companies. Contact us to place an order or talk about creating a lampshade for ECO Lamp made of wheat bran based on your own idea or design.
