When it comes to home decor, few elements combine functionality and artistic expression as seamlessly as lighting.
The Art of Light: Minimal Table Lamps by Monuii
In a world increasingly leaning toward intentional living and design, the objects that fill our spaces are being reimagined with care, character, and craftsmanship. Monuii—an independent, Marseille-based design studio—introduces its latest table lamp collection: a captivating harmony of truly one-of-a-kind wooden lamp bases paired with origami-inspired lampshades — a design signature of the Monuii Lampshade Studio.
Each piece in this collection embodies a serene balance between nature and design. The lamp bases, with aesthetic shapes crafted from wood, showcase a warm, organic texture and beauty. What sets them apart is not just their natural material, but their novel form and assembly. - The tops of the table lamps are replaceable and designed so that any base from the Monuii table lamp collection is compatible with any top — a truly innovative idea featuring an inventive system that allows the lampshade to nestle seamlessly on top. The lamp bases serve not only as sturdy bases but also as sculptural works in their own right, offering both visual elegance and functional integrity.
The lampshades, inspired by minimal origami, present a delicate interplay of folds and silhouettes. Available in a range of subtle or bold colours, these shades bring an ethereal quality to each table lamp—softening light and transforming rooms into calm sanctuaries. Personalisation lies at the heart of this collection: through Monuii’s ‘Words & Pattern’ concept for basic lamps collection, customers can customise their shades with their own letters, words, or graphic patterns, turning each lamp into a poetic expression or meaningful statement piece.
Designed to be modular and versatile, the table lamps come in various sizes ranging from 60 cm to 25 cm in height, allowing for a mix-and-match approach that suits different interiors, from reading nooks and bedroom corners to statement hallway lighting.
More than just lighting objects, Monuii’s lamps are thoughtfully handcrafted design pieces—each one infused with intention, narrative, and a deep respect for materiality.
