Mono Series 03 Table Lamp in Bioplastic
by Greem Jeong · Seoul, South Korea

No, the bulb is not included. It takes an E24 bulb, which is dimmable.

It is built for 220-240V systems, so if your country runs on a different voltage you will need a converter. Check with the maker via Chat with the maker if you are unsure.

It is made to order and usually ships within 2 weeks of purchase.

Yes, the maker offers customization upon request — reach out via Chat with the maker on this page to discuss options.

It comes in Black, Powder Blue, Yellow, Mint, Orange, Olive, Khaki Green, and White, with each color limited to 30 pieces.

It is 3D printed from PLA, a biodegradable bioplastic based on corn starch. The maker can confirm specific care instructions — use Chat with the maker on this page.

Since this piece is made to order, it is excluded from the standard 14-day return policy.

Yes, shipping is insured and covers worldwide delivery, and the lamp includes a certificate of authenticity.

A bedside lamp is a small table lamp placed on a nightstand or shelf next to the bed, made for low, warm light rather than full room illumination. It usually covers three jobs: reading before sleep, finding your way at night, and adding character to the surface it stands on.

Bedside lamps are a type of table lamp, defined by scale and quality of light rather than by category. A bedside lamp is typically 40–60 cm tall, warm, dimmable, easy to switch off by feel, and modest in output. A general table lamp can be far larger and brighter because nothing about it has to be usable half-asleep. Many sculptural pieces work in both roles; a tall, wide-shaded lamp designed for a console rarely works the other way around.

Between 40 and 60 cm for a standard bed and nightstand. Rather than measuring the lamp alone, sit on the edge of the bed: the bottom of the shade should sit between your chin and your eyes so the bulb stays hidden. Low beds and low nightstands need smaller lamps — 25–35 cm is often right.

Keep the lamp narrower than the nightstand and leave usable surface beside it. As a rule of thumb, the widest point of the lamp should be no more than about two-thirds the depth of the nightstand, with a base around 10–16 cm across. If the lamp overhangs the edge or you have to move it to put a book down, it is too big.

Less than most people expect. Around 100–300 lumens is right for ambient bedside light, and 250–450 lumens for reading in bed with the light aimed at the page. Dimmability matters more than maximum output, because the same lamp has to serve reading and the minute before sleep.

Warm, between 2200 K and 2700 K. Amber-toned light in the evening is easier on the eyes and less stimulating than neutral or cool white. Where a very low night light is needed — for a child, or for moving around at night — the softest, warmest setting available is preferable to a brighter cool one.

Not necessarily. A matching pair gives a calm, symmetrical bedroom and is the safe choice with a formal headboard. Two pieces sharing a material or a maker but differing in form often looks better in a collected interior. Since much of ADORNO's catalogue is made to order, a second piece from the same studio can frequently be arranged — contact the curation team to check.

Yes. Several designers make wireless and rechargeable lighting, which is useful when the socket is in the wrong place, when you want to carry the light to another room, or on a nightstand where a trailing cable spoils the piece. Availability changes as pieces are one-off or limited, so browse the current Battery-Operated Lights selection or ask us for a specific request.

Ceramic, stoneware, alabaster, marble, hand-blown glass, brass, steel and solid wood. All age well, all feel substantial at close range, and each handles light differently — stone and alabaster glow from within, opaque ceramic and metal shades throw a defined pool of light downward for reading.

Yes, and most are better for it. The same scale suits a console table, a desk, a bathroom shelf, a windowsill or a hallway. A dimmable bedside lamp on a dining sideboard is one of the simplest ways to soften a room in the evening.

A bedside lamp is switched on and off every day and sits within arm's reach, so material quality and light quality are noticed constantly. A well-made piece in ceramic, stone or glass also functions as a sculptural object during daylight hours, which mass-produced nightstand lamps rarely do. Buying from independent studios means the piece is made in small numbers by the person who designed it.
