ABOUT


Pop-up_edited_edited.jpg

At SAMM European Design, we're passionate about sustainability and creativity! 🌿🏠


I’m Swantje — eco designer, textile rescuer, and lover of expressive interiors.


I create one‑of‑a‑kind lamps from rescued fabrics, reclaimed lamp shades and vintage bases, giving beautiful materials a second life and bringing colour, warmth, and sustainability into everyday homes.

​

Green Glam Lamps began with a simple belief: our homes should feel personal, joyful, and meaningful

​

Every lamp is handcrafted in my Sundance studio in Calgary. I choose each fabric for its texture and story, restore vintage bases with care, and design pieces that glow with character. No two lamps are ever the same.

​

My work is rooted in circular design, creativity, and the magic of transformation. When you bring a Green Glam lamp into your home, you’re not just choosing lighting — you’re choosing a piece with soul, history, and purpose.

​

Handmade with love  -   Designed with intention  -  Created for homes that celebrate colour and character.
