Our world

Two glass table lamps, and one stubborn observation: the light in most homes is wrong.

Light up your space

Maison Luce exists because of a small, stubborn observation: the light in most homes is wrong. Ceiling fixtures flood a room from above and flatten everything. They are useful for finding your keys and terrible for anything else. The lamps that fix this are usually either expensive design pieces or plastic things that look like they came free with something.

So we went looking for the middle. Objects that are genuinely nice to have in a room, at a price that does not require thinking about it for a week.

Two shapes, one idea

The collection is two glass table lamps. They share everything that matters: a coloured glass shade thick enough that the light passing through it picks up the colour and loses its edge, an LED that faces the shade rather than the room so nothing glares, and a switch on the cable that moves through three tones, from a warm amber you can leave on all evening to a clear white you can actually read by.

Both run on USB. Not a proprietary adapter, not a wall installation. The same cable that charges your phone. Plug it into a laptop, a power bank, a socket adapter, whatever is nearest.

What separates them is the silhouette.

The Macaron

Our first piece, shaped like two stacked discs of glass on a slim chrome stem. It is 18 cm across and 28 cm tall, which is to say it fits on a nightstand that already has a book, a glass of water and a phone on it, and still reads as an object rather than an accessory. The light gathers in the space between the two discs. Six colours.

The Globe

The second piece, and the smaller one. A single sphere of coloured glass resting straight on a chrome base: no stem, no edges, nothing to distract from the colour. At 15 cm across and 18 cm tall it goes where the Macaron cannot — a crowded desk, a bookshelf, the corner of a windowsill, a shelf with barely a hand's width to spare.

It is the quieter of the two. The Macaron announces itself; the Globe just glows. Which one is right depends less on the room than on how much of the room you want it to take up.

How we work

  • A small edit, not a catalogue. We would rather sell two lamps we can describe honestly than forty we have never held.
  • Straight answers. Every dimension, material and power rating is on the product page. If something is not there, ask and we will tell you.
  • Free shipping. No minimum order, no surcharge at checkout, tracking on every parcel, worldwide.
  • Thirty days to change your mind. Colour is hard to judge on a screen. If the shade you chose is wrong for your room, send it back.

Where we are

Maison Luce is based in Lausanne, Switzerland, and delivers worldwide. We are at the beginning, and the collection will keep growing, but the brief will not change: warm light, thoughtfully designed, honestly described.
