»milli lux« demonstrates how design with minimal material and maximum personality can truly shine – flexible, sensual, and sustainable.

Fabric Becomes Light – Lampshades by milli lux

»milli lux« is the lighting label founded by Barbara Stölzl in 2011, known for its charm, sustainability, and refined textile sensibility. What makes it special: the lampshades require no wire frame or plastic – they hold their shape through fabric alone. Whether cotton, linen, or silk – often upcycled from bed linen or T-shirts – each shade is washable, removable, and a one-of-a-kind piece with a story. Here, light becomes more than function – it becomes soulful atmosphere.

Pimp Your Bulb – The Slip-On Lampshade Upgrade

With »Pimp your Bulb«, »milli lux« launches a clever new product: a soft lampshade that slips directly over the bulb – no socket, no screws. Perfect for anyone seeking a quick style upgrade with a sustainable touch. The fabrics – as always with »milli lux« – are sourced from existing materials. Each shade tells its own little story and instantly brings warm, homely light to any space.
