Small and bright PaulaNice little lamp to brighten A dark spot easy assembly 5
Not even worth $6AmyI had low expectations given the price, but thought it would be okay enough for a rarely used guest room...nope. The shade is really flimsy and does not stay together. Was not worth my time trying to assemble. 1
Ya get what ya pay forSandraEasy enough to assemble and whatnot. Plastic shade is ‘eh’. I’m going to have my daughter paint it. I bought the ‘warm’ light bulbs because I don’t like bright lights and its still a little bright for my liking 3
lampshade is flimsyRamya The lampshade is very flimsy and does not stay round even though it has been 2 months since I got it. It does not look aesthetically good. Also the join is clearly visible as it does not take the round shape. Very difficult to assemble 1
BarlastRosalindThe lamp shade was hard to stay together needed tape.2
Very goodKarlaWe liked of for our guest room. It is little but give good light5
Decent lampMattIt’s ok.3
Cute and sturdyBeverlyLove this cutie! It’s sturdy and doesn’t take up a lot of space. Going back to buy a few more. Great for reading or bedside!5
Absolute TrashEileenYou definitely get what you pay for with this flimsy, poorly-made lamp. I've put together many an Ikea product, both here & back in Europe, but never did I encounter something this tedious. I'm tempted to toss it, as I don't think Goodwill would want it.1
Didn’t fit my bulbThomasIt looked amazing and was easy to build. Was disappointed when it found out it didn’t fit my smart bulb, don’t know if it is me or the lamp.3
Barlast lampPauletttePerfect little $5 lamp. Be careful when moving it or even getting anywhere near it. It’s light weight and kind of tippy but it is very cute.4
Very cute inexpensive lampCandace JeanI use this for a nightlight on my bedside table. It was under $5 and works great5
Great little inexpensive lamp.GeorgeI like to have a lot of indirect lighting around my house. These are an affordable way to do that. Assembly is super easy. They look sharp, and have a nice minimalist design.5
Vey cool, but use a different shadeEdwardThis is a very cool little lamp, but the shade looks cheap. I threw out the shade, and I just use a cool interesting bulb with no shade, or you could easily use another type of 'clip on' shade. The lamp base without the shade has a very cool industrial look to it. Can't go wrong at this price!5
I bought the Barlast lampLisaI bought the Barlast lamp for my bedside built in shelves and wasn’t sure it would fit. Once my husband saw the product we went back and purchased a second lamp. Unfortunately when we arrived home from our travels to Florida, the second package had been tapped shut and a piece was missing from the package. The lamp fits perfectly on the built in shelving.5
Love my lampMargaretLamp was very easy to put together, perfect size for bed side. Bulb, purchased separately, is very bright. The shade for the lamp is excellent to self decorate for the kids.5
I loved my purchaseClaudiaDetails are important!5

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

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.

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.

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 a reasonable question. A part of the explanation is the cross-shaped lamp base, which makes it dividable, along with the lampshade that is rolled-up like a tube. When the package takes up little space and can be transported efficiently which makes 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.
