Your home is personal and I can handcraft a special lampshade for you. I take custom orders. You can request size and color combination that will fit your décor. The recycled coffee filter lampshades are sturdy, durable, completely unique and beautiful.



Handcrafting a coffee filter lampshade is timing consuming. It takes even days of work but is amazingly rewarding-- especially when a lamp is finished, the light switch hit, and I can see how beautifully the light filters through the shade.



I was a journalist in Brazil for many years but I am now a stay-at-home-mom and the artisan behind Lampada. I handcraft lampshades with recycled coffee filters. Have you ever seen used coffee filters become a beautiful piece of art? Probably not!



The lampshades are completely unique and eco-friendly. People usually are amazed with this idea! They are surprised how something that is considered garbage can become a beautiful piece of art.



First I collect the coffee filters at the coffee shop. Them I start the preparation: clean, dry and dye the coffee filters if they will have a color other them the natural stain of the coffee.



My kids are so used to go to the coffee shop with me to collect the coffee filters. They already want to recycle things around the house like boxes and even toilet paper rolls. With simple attitudes like that we can go far. One step at a time or as I like to say, one coffee filter at a time! It is a great feeling to save coffee filters from a landfill!
