The M_004 Lamp is a travertine block lamp from the Monolith Collection, designed by Marc Personick in New York.
A compact volume of travertine, near-cubic in form, rests on a smaller square plinth. The shape is reduced to its simplest geometry, the only interruption a square aperture cut into the body. When lit, warm light passes through the porous stone and suffuses the surface with a soft amber quality that resin or ceramic cannot replicate. The piece functions equally as lamp and lantern.
The travertine carries its characteristic cream-beige ground, marked by natural dark veining and open voids. Each block is individual; the pores that once channeled mineral water now diffuse light in their place.
Within the Monolith Collection, the M_004 stands as the studio's lighting proposition, evidence that Marc Personick's brutalist vocabulary translates from seating and tables into functional objects without compromise.

About
Monolith
Monolith is a New York design studio and gallery founded in 2023 by Marc Personick. The practice centers on one formal idea: brutalist furniture design that belongs in the home with the same authority it occupies in architecture. Every piece begins with geometry and mass, then submits to the logic of the material.
Stone and wood structure the Monolith palette. Travertine, volcanic and porous, arrives cream-colored and marked by natural incident: veining, pores, the record of its formation. White oak runs warmer and more immediate, offsetting the stone's geological weight. Together, the two materials define the studio's range: neither polished nor rough, but deliberately between.
Personick collaborates with architects and independent designers to expand the Monolith vocabulary. The M_001 Chair, a U-shaped travertine block resting on two differently formed legs, typifies the approach: geometry without ornament, material without apology. The M_007 Lounge Chair stacks travertine into an angled resting form, functional and sculptural in equal measure.
The Monolith Collection spans more than twenty objects: seating, tables, consoles, benches, and lighting, each available in stone or wood variants. Launched in 2023, the collection has attracted collectors and interior architects looking for geometric designer furniture grounded in material discipline rather than surface gesture.
Monolith pieces are available on Monde Singulier.
