Miffy XL lamp from Mr Maria, Dutch design studio! Cute Nijntje bunny light, Scottish Fold cat.
Miffy (or Nijntje) is one of my favorite characters, and my earless cat appears to agree.
The cute bunny comes from the Netherlands — not Japan, as many mistakenly believe — and was first introduced in Dick Bruna’s 1955 book.
Miffy is more selective about design partnerships than Hello Kitty, so her products tend to be of higher quality, like this tissue-dispensing toy from Hong Kong.
Last week, a big box arrived from Amsterdam. Basil Farrow investigates: are those rabbit ears inside?
Indeed. Design studio Mr Maria sent us this incredible lamp, shaped like a seated Miffy!
I’m an interior design fanatic, and this playful company makes some of the most creative and beautiful lights I’ve seen.
The photos speak for themselves. Miffy XL appeals to kids (and cats!), and brightens up any modern home.
Mr Maria lights up other whimsical creatures: Anana the elephant, Nanuk the bear, Kokeshi the Japanese child.
There’s also a Miffy cloud lamp that descends from the ceiling, and a Snuffy dog for children to ride.
The indie duo’s motto – “We don’t make products, we create stars” – especially rings true at night.
Miffy XL has several brightness settings. The lamp uses LED white light, which consumes almost no energy and lasts basically forever.
Since LEDs don’t radiate heat, these lamps are child (and pet) safe. Basil Farrow loves the calming, diffuse light.
My architect father gives the construction two thumbs up. “Simplicity in design, no need for assembly or replacement parts, just plug and play.”
Thank you Mr Maria — your designs are pure magic! The Dutch design studio often does giveaways, so keep note of their website and Facebook.
Even with all these rabbits around, Basil Farrow remains the Pharaoh.

Are you a fan of Miffy the Bunny? Isn’t this the greatest lamp in the universe?
