Monika Mulder Lighting for Pholc: Where Each Design Works

Monika Mulder, Dutch designer based in Gothenburg, designer for Pholc

Monika Mulder started at IKEA’s design department after Design Academy Eindhoven and has run her own studio in Gothenburg since 2007. For Pholc she draws opal glass globes on slim brass or black frames, made to suit Scandinavian and modern rooms alike.

“One Mobil chandelier over the table, Mobil 12s at the bedside.”

Our rule of thumb

Over dining tables and islands

The Mobil chandelier balances opal globes on arms you can turn, so the shape changes with the room. The Bounce lines globes along a bar for long tables, and Pearls hangs two or three over an island.

Halls and bedsides

  • Mobil 12: a compact globe for either side of a bed or a mirror.
  • Mobil 46: on an arm, plug-in or hardwired, for reading in bed.
  • Mobil 150: a tall plug-in wall light for halls and rentals.

Living rooms and studies

Hans has a wave-shaped shade as a pendant or a floor lamp; Champagne adds a gold table lamp or mini pendant, and Mobil 18 sits on a desk or nightstand.
