Scrolling through one of our go to design blogs the other day, Desire to Inspire, we came across this picture. Hey, isn't that the Knappa lamp...but in orange? We know a spot where this would be perfect so we clicked over to the Ikea website, credit card at the ready. No go. Hmmm, perhaps in Ikea Australia? Nope...
Ikea Knappa Lamp in Orange?
So we're putting the question out there...have any of you seen the Knappa lamp in orange or are we gonna have to resort to spray paint?

That doesn't look like paint to me. Are you sure they didn't make it? It looks kind of easy to make if you knew what was what.

Doesn't the knappa come in pieces which have to be assembled? Seems simple to take the same type of material in orange and cut out the same shapes to make an orange one.

How about Photoshop?

I've tried spraypainting a Knappa red and it worked just fine.
However, I guess if you bought the lamp in white, it would be very easy to just use the plastic petals it comes with as a pattern to cut the same shapes out of any slightly bendy material - and then you could just assemble them on the plastic "skeleton" in the middle of the lamp.
