The "Pumpshade" is an interior light created from a real loaf of bread. It is made by hollowing out the inside of a loaf of bread, applying a mold- and preservative-proofing treatment, and setting LEDs, batteries, and a switch.


Pumpshade is created by artist Yukiko Morita (Morita Bakery). She began creating works using bread after seeing the waste products generated every day at the bakery where she worked as a student, and wishing to do something about it.


The pump shade is currently undergoing renewal, including the adoption of a more user-friendly switch. To raise funds for its development, they are seeking support on the crowdfunding site "CAMPFIRE. There is also a plan to get the renewed product at a special price, which will be delivered after next year regardless of whether the goal is reached.



Bread not only tastes good, it also makes people feel warm," says Morita. Eventually, he is aiming to create products from the store's discarded bread. We take bread for granted, but looking at it every day may give you a different kind of attachment to it.
