The name Lamingo is derived from the word lamelae. The slogan was: “Lamingo, lamper med omgivningsljus”. Lamingo, lamps with ambient light. “This leaflet introduces to you a family of lamps with laminated shades. Hence the name LAMINGO.”

Hans-Agne Jakobsson designed many lamps in this style, also a series in pine wood produced by his other company AB Ellysett.
