Yukiko Morita’s brand also has a YouTube channel and its bio explains from where the company got its name. “We're based in Japan. We call our bread lamps, ‘Pampshades.’ It's a play on words. The Japanese word for bread is ‘pan’, so, "pan" + ‘lampshade’ = ‘Pampshade!",” it reads. “Pampshades are made from real bread that has been carefully hollowed out and preserved with an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal coating. While Pampshades look delicious, they are not edible,” the bio further explains.
