There are lamps, and then there is the Egglamp. A lamp that makes you look twice. Not because it’s so big, or shines so brightly — but because you wonder: is that really an eggshell? Yes, it is. The Egglamp is a handmade LED lamp made from real eggshells, produced in the Netherlands, and it replaces a traditional incandescent bulb of 20W with just 2W consumption. That's not only smart, it's also beautiful.
What is the Egglamp?
The Egglamp is an LEDⓘ lamp where the lampshade is made from a real eggshell. The shell is carefully selected, processed, and fitted with a 2W LED light source. This sounds fragile, but the eggshell is surprisingly strong and gives the light a special, soft glow. Every lamp is different, because no two eggs are alike. The Egglamp is therefore not just a lighting product — it is an art object.
The lamp has a standard E27ⓘ fitting and operates on 230V, allowing it to fit into almost any fixture, pendant light, or lamp holder. The recommended combination is the concrete EggboxLAMP base, specifically designed as a home for the Egglamp.
The Egglamp variants
The Egglamp is available in three versions, each with its own character and appearance. Whether you prefer fresh and bright, warm and earthy, or something unique and unexpected — there’s an Egglamp for you.
Egglamp White — fresh, bright, and timeless
The Egglamp White is made from white eggshells and provides a fresh, natural look. The light shining through the white shell is bright and luminous, perfect for ambient lighting on a bedside table, desk, or in a pendant lamp. The white shade fits into almost any interior — from minimalist Scandinavian to modern industrial. Price: €29.00.
- Light colour: bright and fresh
- Material: real white eggshell
- Fitting: E27 — 230V
- Consumption: LED 2W = 20W halogen light
Egglamp Brown — warm, earthy, and atmospheric
The Egglamp Brown is made from brown eggshells and has a warm, earthy appearance. The slightly thicker brown shell gives the light an extra warm glow — perfect for a cosy evening atmosphere. The warm brown tone fits perfectly into a Scandinavian or natural interior, but the Egglamp Brown also feels at home in an industrial or bohemian interior. Price: €29.00.
- Light colour: warm and atmospheric
- Material: real brown eggshell
- Fitting: E27 — 230V
- Consumption: LED 2W = 20W halogen light
Egglamp Special Edition — unique, conscious, and circular
The Egglamp Special Edition is the most special of the three. It is made from B-grade eggsⓘ — eggs that are too good to throw away, but do not meet the aesthetic standards of supermarkets. Instead of waste, the maker opts for upcycling: every B-grade egg gets a second life as a designer lamp. Each one is different, because no two eggs are alike. This makes the Special Edition a true collector's item. Price: €39.00.
- Light colour: depending on the egg — always unique
- Material: B-grade eggshell (upcycled)
- Fitting: E27 — 230V
- Consumption: LED 2W = 20W halogen light
The EggboxLAMP base
The Egglamp is beautiful on its own, but truly complete in combination with the EggboxLAMP base. This is a concrete lamp base weighing 1 kg, specially designed as a home for the Egglamp. The base is available in five colours, each with its own character. No two pieces are exactly alike — small variations in colour and texture are characteristic of the handmade production process. The bottom is fitted with anti-slip pads, and the EU plug connects directly to 230V.
The EggboxLAMP is available as a standalone base (€99.00) or as a complete set including Egglamp White or Egglamp Brown (€125.00).
EggboxLAMP Classic — grey, pure, and timeless
The EggboxLAMP Classic is concrete in its purest form: grey, heavy, and timeless. The raw cement speaks for itself. With a weight of 1 kg, it stands unshakeably on a table, desk, or windowsill. A lamp base that fits with everything and belongs everywhere — from a modern loft to a classic interior.
EggboxLAMP Mint — fresh, green, and vibrant
The EggboxLAMP Mint features a fresh mint green finish on a 1 kg concrete base. The combination of raw concrete with the fresh colour gives it a playful yet stylish character. Perfect for a workspace, kitchen, or children's room where you want to add a touch of colour without overdoing it.
EggboxLAMP Sky — light blue like a clear sky
The EggboxLAMP Sky combines a fresh sky-blue colour with the robust solidity of 1 kg of cement. Sky blue is the colour that radiates calm and provides space. On a desk, bedside table, or windowsill, the EggboxLAMP Sky adds an airy accent to your interior without being overpowering.
EggboxLAMP Corn — warm yellow like ripe grain
The EggboxLAMP Corn has the colour of ripe grain and the solidity of 1 kg of cement. An unexpected combination that works precisely because of that: warm and inviting. On a wooden table, a white desk, or a natural windowsill, it subtly draws attention.
EggboxLAMP Rosé — soft pink, rock-hard concrete
The EggboxLAMP Rosé proves that tough and sweet can coexist perfectly. With 1 kg of cement as its base and a blushing pink hue as its finish, this is a lamp that makes you look twice. Soft enough for a bedroom, strong enough to make a statement on your desk.
Upcycling and sustainability
The Egglamp is more than a lamp — it is a statement about sustainability and conscious consumption. In a world where waste is the norm, the creator of the Egglamp chooses a different approach. Eggshells that would otherwise end up in the bin are given a second life as a design object. That is upcyclingⓘ in its purest form.
The Egglamp Special Edition goes a step further: B-grade eggs that do not meet supermarket aesthetic standards are saved from the landfill and transformed into unique lamps. Each piece tells its own story — about the egg, about the maker, and about the choice to think differently about what we discard.
The EggboxLAMP base also fits into this narrative. Concrete is one of the most durable and long-lasting materials in the world. A concrete base will last for generations, and the Egglamp itself consumes hardly any energy with its 2W. The combination of both makes the Egglamp one of the most sustainable lighting solutions in its category.

- As a desk lamp: The Egglamp White in an EggboxLAMP Sky or Corn gives your workspace a fresh, creative look without distracting bright lighting.
- In a pendant lamp: The Egglamp has a standard E27 fitting and therefore fits into any pendant lamp. Hang three together for a special light object above the dining table.
