The Mr Maria story
Founded in Amsterdam in 2006 by Jannes Hak and Lennart Bosker, Mr Maria creates iconic, characterful lighting loved by children and design-conscious adults alike. Their breakthrough came with a lamp based on Dick Bruna's Miffy, the little bunny first drawn in 1955, which has since become an essential piece of nursery decor in homes around the world. Every Mr Maria lamp pairs a warm, adjustable glow with a friendly silhouette that becomes a bedtime companion, not just a light.
First Light lamps
The award-winning First Light range is made from soft, BPA-free silicone that is lightweight, rechargeable and safe for little hands. With six brightness modes including a gentle night setting, a First Light is the perfect first lamp for a nursery, and small enough to travel. Choose Miffy or one of her friends: Boris, Snuffy, Lion, Nanuk and Anana.
Star Light and XL lamps
For a statement piece, the Miffy Star Light (around 50cm) and the XL lamp (around 80cm) bring the same soft, dimmable glow on a larger scale. Made from durable material and finished in the signature minimalist white, they look beautiful on the floor beside a bed or on a shelf as a focal point, and suit grown-up spaces as easily as a child's room.
Bundle of Lights
Can't choose just one? The Bundle of Lights gathers Miffy, Boris, Lion and Snuffy in palm-sized form, made from the softest silicone. It is a favourite gift and a lovely way to start a collection.
The perfect gift

Giftable, keepsake-quality and never out of style, it is an ideal present for a baby shower, a first birthday or a new-baby gift. Add a message at checkout and we will ship it anywhere in Australia.
