Abstract
A lampshade consists of a lattice structure. The lattice structure is formed of a plurality of lattice elements (3). Each lattice element (3) has a central axis (7) that extends through a centre of gravity (5) of the lattice element (3), perpendicularly to an envelope (6) of the lattice structure. The central axes (7) of the lattice elements are oriented in such a way that they each extend along a preferred viewing direction (8) through the respective lattice element (3), such that cavities (9) enclosed by the lattice elements (3) allow light through along the preferred viewing direction (8) and appear opaque from significantly deviating viewing directions.
