Monochromatic lamps: a design trend that can adapt to your tastes

From the desk, to the bedside table, to a coffee table in the living room or in the entryway and more: if you think about it, there are many places in the house where it is useful to have a table lamp to light your way.

In this regard, it is worth highlighting a current, popular trend, which has the use of monochromatic (single-color) lamps as a focus. It doesn't matter what material they are made of, the lamps are all one color. So, let's check out a few examples:

Here's an example of a table lamp that will bring joy to any table or desk. It has a touch control that allows you to turn it on, off and select from one of three different brightness levels. This could be the practical and fun solution for a small bedside table, for example!

The design of this lamp - which looks like a pencil wearing a crooked hat - was created by Christophe Mathieu. This is an LED, battery-operated lamp (like the above example), so there will be no power cables to deal with. It also comes in other colors (yellow, light blue and pale pink, for example), but this wine colored model is the most striking!

Here's an example of a timeless classic. Most of us will associate this model of lamp with the Pixar logo (and it's adorable animation of the tiny, jumping lamp). The articulated arm allows you to direct the beam wherever you need it, and the "washed out" light blue color of the lamp pictured here is very elegant.

The lamp is based on the Pixar one above, but is a more compact, industrially-styled piece. This is the Môma lamp, available in several cheerful pastel colors. It's made of steel, with clean lines, and a black fabric cable. It would look good almost anywhere - from offices, to bedside tables, bedrooms, dining rooms and beyond!

Hay Pao is a portable lamp designed by Naoto Fukasawa. It has the attractive lines of a mushroom, and comes in a number of colors (but bright red is the one that strikes the heartmost striking). Extremely simple in its shape, it communicates a sense of comfort and serenity. Both the base and the lampshade are made of highly resistant polycarbonate, making it ideal for outdoor use. The bulb remains covered by the structure itself, so the lamp diffuses a well-distributed, warm light. Adorable in the home, in the garden or on the balcony!

Made of silicone and plastic, this lamp is soft and light!
