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.
