My friends thought I was a bit eccentric, but after months of admiration, I finally brought home the Seletti Monkey Lamp. Even my husband Frank needed time to warm up to it, but now it proudly hangs in our living room, winning over the whole family. As an interior enthusiast sharing our home transformations, I'll walk you through why this lamp became a must-have.

Choosing lamps and wall art has always been challenging for me. That's why I often DIY lamps or scour the web for inspiration—tastes vary widely! While I admire many designs and paintings online, few feel right for our home, and prices can be steep. But the Seletti Monkey Lamp? I fell in love at first sight months ago. Despite its bold, eye-catching design and premium price, I knew it belonged in our new house.
My interior style evolves, blending cool, minimalist retro vibes with light, bamboo accents, romantic hues, and velour textures. Scrolling Pinterest and hopping between sites led me to Flinders' feed, where the Monkey and Raven Lamps caught my eye again.
Our home will mix styles: romantic whites, bamboo, and greens in the bedroom; industrial-rustic retro in the living room to complement our vintage record player. Even as we renovate, I'm selecting timeless pieces like furniture, accessories, and this Monkey Lamp for lasting appeal.
In our previous home, factory-style Scandinavian lamps—a large floor model and two pendants—worked well. Now, the pendants have moved to the bedroom (photos coming soon), making space for fresh lighting. After some convincing, Frank agreed to order the Seletti Monkey and Raven Lamps!
These resin lamps, finished in sleek black, work indoors or out—perfect for our industrial living room vision. The Monkey Lamp hangs effortlessly in the corner via a single screw through its hand, casting beautiful light while doubling as a sculptural artwork.
Its extra-long cord is ideal for outdoor setups, though unnecessary inside.
Setup is straightforward: unpack, screw in the bulb, plug in, and you're done. Packaging is secure and professional. We've integrated both lamps into our smart home system—Fibaro plugs and Mi Light—enabling app control and automated on/off schedules. Incredibly convenient for daily life!
