The globe is made out of illuminable plastic.

We are not ruling out the possibility of one day make a glass version but for now, that would demand a significantly larger upfront investment with a higher risk of feasibility and would have resulted in a potentially 3-4x more expensive, less safe product with higher shipping costs. So why glass if the plastic is more affordable, easier to make, looks as good as glass, safer and even the shipping cost is lower? 🙂

Yes, you can spin it manually! 🙂

Yes, it does. 🙂 The lamp comes with a standard E14 socket lightbulb. Good to note here that the type of light bulb used is a bit narrower than usual to fit into the globe so not every bulb can fit well with the lamp.

Yes, the lamp comes with 2 years of manufacturer warranty for customers living in the EU. International customers warranty is usually one year, but it can change from country to country.

No, this beautiful wooden base was designed over 12 years ago by Claus Jensen & Henrik Holbaek from Tools Design and used for Mono Lamp – and for many other globes before – with their kind approval.

Not at the moment but we are planning to make different bases available in the future.

If we are out of stock of the lamps than the expected production time is approximately 6-8 weeks. In the meantime, we need to recognize that as in every similar venture there can be unforeseen & unexpected events that can potentially lead to delays.

Yes! Actually a bit better as we further perfected our production line but It’s good to note here that due to the vacuum forming technology we are using every lamp will be slightly different from another and some vertical lines may have a minimal misalignment between the hemispheres but this will not affect the overall lamp experience (as you probably haven’t seen it while watching the campaign videos or images).

The technology that made Mono Lamp possible is called vacuum forming. With this technology, we can print plastic sheets, vacuum form hemispheres from them and then glue them together in a higher quality, lower cost and more scalable way than any other technology we have yet to come across. It’s good to note here also that this technique next to all of its benefits can leave minimal misalignments between the hemispheres. Partly, for this reason, we moved the horizontal center of the design little bit above the actual center of the globe, but this is not affecting the overall lamp experience (as you probably haven’t seen it while watching the campaign videos or images).

No, it’s not seamless, although it might look like that at the first time if you look more closely the campaign video and images you can see that it’s made out of two separate hemispheres (northern & southern). Also, each hemisphere has a small hole in the center where the northern is covered with a white or black plastic cap, and the southern enable the base to enter & hold the globe.

Due to the vacuum forming technology we are using which next to all of its benefits can leave minimal misalignments between the hemispheres. For this reason, to compensate this effect, we’ve moved the horizontal center of the design little bit above the actual center of the globe, but this will not affect the overall lamp experience (as you probably haven’t seen it while watching the campaign videos or images).

Although every globe comes with a basic scratch protection layer, it’s surface is still sensitive therefore you need to avoid any sharp objects or anything similar that can potentially scratch it accidentally and any chemicals such as alcohol that can permanently damage the globe surface.

You can use a soft fabric and some water if necessary but avoid using any products especially the ones containing alcohol because it can permanently damage the globe’s surface.

Although the result might look simple I spent over a year experimenting with different production technologies (4 different), materials (3 different) and production lines (on 2 continents and 5 different countries) to finally get – in my view – the right balance between, quality, cost, and scalability (and for the main part I kept my day job to sustain myself and to invest into this project).

The lamp is made by our manufacturer partner based in Italy.

Not yet, but we are working on it. Currently, we are able to deliver lamps only to customers living in the EU. In the meantime please let us know which country you would like to order from at hello@monolamp.com

No, the shipping fee is not included and will be added during the checkout based on your shipping address.

Flat 20 € for any EU country. International shipping cost depends of your location.

United Parcel Service (UPS).

If the lamp is in stock the shipping time is between 48-72 hours anywhere inside the EU.

We want to make sure you’re happy with your product, so we encourage you to reach out to us via email with any questions or concerns at hello@monolamp.com. If we can’t solve your issues our refund policy is as follows: once the lamp is delivered, you have 14 days to decide whether or not to keep it. If you decide to return it contact our support at hello@monolamp.com. You need to send the lamp back in the same condition as you’ve received it. Our return policy covers the lamp itself but not the shipping costs.

At the moment, unfortunately, not. We don’t have any in-stock, and we don’t have plans to produce again shortly. However, if you like to be notified when it’s available again please send us an e-mail at hello@monolamp.com
