Monolith Desk Lamp

A single extruded aluminium form with a diffusion edge that makes ordinary rooms look art-directed.

Expensive, unapologetic, and the only lamp I have never wanted to replace.

The Monolith is a case study in one-decision design: everything about it follows from the choice to extrude a single profile and light its edge.

In use, the diffusion is soft enough for long writing sessions and directional enough for photography. The dimmer has real resistance, a small thing that signals the rest of the build quality.
