Me and the Gombalámpás

 

I’m Hanna, I’m 21 years old, and I’ve been creating my Mushroom Lamps since 2022.

All of my lamps are completely handmade. Each mushroom is shaped individually, without molds. Every piece is surrounded by real moss and placed on real wood.
In the beginning, I made the lamps alongside my high school studies, and after successfully graduating, I decided two summers ago to dedicate an entire year solely to Mushroom Lamps. In less than a year, I made several hundred lamps for custom orders and for markets. Since then, the business has grown, and now my family and a few wonderful, hardworking hands help me with the work.
Fortunately, my lamps always find loving new homes, which makes me very happy. At this point, at least one of my Mushroom Lamps is present on every continent, and I’ve had the chance to decorate many beautiful places with my creations.
I constantly strive to give my best, I’m never satisfied with “good enough.” My biggest project so far is the Mushroom Lamp Shop at Astoria. I dreamed up this cozy little space for you, so you could meet the lamps in an environment where they can truly shine. In the shop, you’ll also find products from several amazing Hungarian creators. The entire forest is just as handmade as the little wonders within it — for example, the iconic tree root once belonged to my godparents’ cherry tree. We look forward to welcoming you during opening hours.

Each piece is made by hand, with love and care.

Classic hats are made freehand, without a mold, while the Crest and Spotted caps cames from casting form.

The entire mashroom is handcrafted from PVC, by hand. The mushroom stems are flexible and not fragile, thanks to the elastic plastic.

The lamps rest on real wood, the battery compartment is built into the base, so the aesthetic isn’t spoiled by the sight of batteryholders or cables. The cavities for concealing the battery switches are created with a hand milling machine.

The trees are covered with live moss, which requires no special care—just an occasional spritz of water.

Each tree-based Gombalámpás is fitted with a precision-made, logo-embossed fabric base to protect furniture from damage. By lifting this base, battery replacement is easy to made.
