light the table
Whether placed on a table, in a windowsill, on a shelf or work desk, a table lamp can bring aesthetic value and modern functionality to any space. Here, we explore three new table lamps by Scandinavian design brand Muuto.

DEDICATE TABLE LAMP by Thomas Bentzen |
DEDICATE LAMP is based on the classic architect’s lamp I know from my childhood bedroom and my days as a student. like many Danes. A head with two arms and a couple of springs that could move freely. My interpretation builds on that typology, adapting it to today’s needs and a petite LED light source, says designer Thomas Bentzen |

“For me, it is all about movement – creating a fluid movement when leading the light to where you want it to be. That it should feel stable and robust, and stay in its place. The movement is what enables you to control the light” - designer Thomas Bentzen |
|
Five years in the making, THOMAS BENTZEN has spent a lot of time considering what good work light means: a uniform and even light that fits the task you are performing. The lamp is a tool to be reached for where and when you need it. The countless models and prototypes in designer Thomas Bentzen’s studio are proof of his tireless search for the ultimate work light. His Dedicate Lamp for Muuto reimagines the classic architect light, lovingly updated for contemporary life. |

“The devil is in the details. Something as basic as joints and the springs are the most important components in the Dedicate Lamp” - designer Thomas Bentzen |
He was inspired by moving things in the real world, the fluid motion of cranes and excavators. Objects that are constantly exposed to the push and pull. Reflecting that curiosity about how things actually work, the designer made a point out of not concealing the mechanics behind the lamp but rather celebrating them. That way, we can intuitively make sense of how it works and why, about the gravity and forces at work. It is a tribute to the original. |

Designing the head was a real challenge, getting the balance between function and form just right, without losing track of the original idea. Big enough to hold a replaceable light source and give good glare-free work light, but good to grab and move. Manufactured in die-casted powder coated aluminium, its subtle ribs and grooves lead heat away from the head while improving the grip. |
STRAND TABLE LAMP by Benjamin Hubert |
STRAND TABLE LAMP references design history while remaining distinctly modern. Its shape is soft and playful, a sculptural design fitted with a hidden light source that illuminates the whole of its monolithic form. The lamp is made in a sprayed cocoon material that consists of tiny strands for a complex, intriguing structure that gives the Strand Table Lamp an almost cloud-like appearance. Filtering light through for a warm, comfortable glow, it brings a sense of comfort, harmony and a refined sensitivity to any room.
|
Strand’s name refers to the way the design is made up of endless tiny strands that together form a complex and compelling structure. It gives the lamp a unique visual identity and an unparalleled quality of light. |
POST TABLE LAMP by Earnest Studio |
POST TABLE LAMP redefines lighting with an archetypal yet innovative design, featuring a magnetic joint for customisable positioning, dimming, and rotation. This atmospheric base lamp is versatile, making it an ideal addition to bedside tables, shelves, windows, and other spaces offering various settings and angles. |
In case you missed this on Instagram, Mia in our Melbourne showroom shot a little reel of the three new Muuto table lights. See it here :) |
|
The Post Table Lamp came from the idea of exploring the flexibility of the magnetic joint, giving the user the freedom to position and dim the lamp’s light units according to individual needs. Designed with a sculptural expression, simple lines and a refined finish, the Post Table Lamp represents a new perspective through its graphic character and forward-thinking functionality. |

“What I like the most about the Post Lamp Series is its flexibility. You have something simple and minimal, but because of its flexibility and how you can arrange it, each piece gets a unique character and composition.” - Earnest Studio |
