Monolith Table Lamp by Sergio Enríquez

Monolith is a minimalist table lamp created by Mexican designer Sergio Enríquez. With its solid wood body made of oak, the lamp emits a warm light that creates an inviting atmosphere on any table surface.

The lamp is characterized by its subtle but unique silhouette. It is available in different color variants, whereby the grain of the wood is always shown to its best advantage. It therefore blends in seamlessly into various contexts.

A distinctive feature of the lamp is its lampshade, which has been machined to create a gentle curve that plays beautifully with the grain of the wood. The lamp was born from the idea to explore the intersection of the two directions of the wood grain through a triple curvature at the top of the object. In this way, Enríquez developed a natural gradient that feels inviting and gives the lamp a unique aesthetic.
