Ikea's 'Ödleblad' Lampshade: Allen Key Design Meets Sustainability

Ikea introduces the 'Ödleblad,' a unique pendant lampshade inspired by the Allen key. Designed by David Wahl, it arrives flatpacked and assembles with ease. The 'Ödleblad' consists of 60 identical parts, each shaped like an Allen key. These interlocking pieces slot together to form a complete sphere, with no need for additional fittings. The design minimises material waste, a significant challenge for Wahl. Wahl, known for expressive shapes and efficient designs, chose birch veneer for the parts. When lit, the lampshade emits a soft, subdued glow, casting playful Allen key-shaped shadows. The 'Ödleblad' is a testament to Ikea's commitment to innovative, sustainable design. It arrives flatpacked with 60 pre-assembled parts, slotting together to form a sphere. When lit, it offers a unique, playful tribute to the humble Allen key.
