Shades. Five shapes in three sizes: Cup, Bowl, Sphere, Cone and the new Cylinder in S, M and L, and for the pendants the Lazise glass globe. Every shade hangs from its own cord, so you can mix them.
Colours. Eleven matte colours, one per shade if you like; a Cylinder comes in Black, Cacao, Beige or White. See the real colours at home with the free sample pack.

Cylinders.
A Cylinder is the whole lamp head: a metal tube, closed at the top, with no separate socket cap. It takes a GU10 bulb, our LED GU10 (not included). In Black, Cacao, Beige or White. A narrow downlight: hang a row of them over a kitchen island or a bar. A Cylinder is sold only as part of a lamp, not on its own (on a pendant, each adds its price below).

Lazise glass globes.
For the pendants (every multi-light frame and the Switch 1L Pendant) and Switch Ceiling. On a pendant, hang the globes on their own or mix them with the metal shades on one frame; the socket cap takes the frame colour, as on the Cup, Bowl, Sphere and Cone. In 4 sizes, Ø 15 to 30 cm, and 3 finishes. Switch Wall, Table, Floor and the magnetic lamps take the metal shades only.

Sizes are diameter × height. Each globe takes its own bulb, amber glass with a glowing filament that shows through the clear glass: the Ø 15 our LED deco bulb S (€12,95), the Ø 20, 25 and 30 our LED deco bulb L (€16,95). Every globe is also sold on its own, as a spare or to swap a metal shade for glass: Lazise globes on their own.
How each shape spreads its light: the Cup is shallow, so its light spreads wide and soft over the whole table. The Bowl gives a focused pool of light with a calm edge, the classic dining-table light. The Sphere shines down through its open base and keeps the bulb out of sight. The Cone casts a wide, defined circle of light, the largest on the tabletop. The Cylinder sends a narrow beam straight down, for accents or a row over an island. The Lazise glass globes light the room as well as the table: Satin Matt White glows evenly all round, Gold Fume and Smoked Grey show the bulb and add a warm or smoky tint.
How do the shapes differ?Colours
Eleven matte colours.
Cup, Bowl, Sphere and Cone come in any of 11 matte colours, the Cylinders in Black, Cacao, Beige or White. Keep to one, or mix them across the frame.

Four frame colours.
Every Switch frame comes in Black, Cacao, Beige or White. The colour covers all the steel: the ceiling frame and the socket caps on the shades, the canopy and stem, the wall plate and arm, and the base, pole and magnet holder of the table, floor and magnetic lamps. On the pendants and the table, floor and magnetic lamps, the PVC cord follows the frame: black with a Black or Cacao frame, beige with Beige, transparent with White.

How much light?
Total light per frame with our LED E27 Tube (500 lm) in every metal shade; a Cylinder gives 540 lm, a Lazise globe 210 lm (Ø 15) or 380 lm (Ø 20, 25, 30). A guide, not a lux promise: shade shape, colour, height and your walls all change how bright a room feels.

What is the Studio Monton Switch?
Switch is a modular pendant light system designed by Chris Joosten in 2022 and assembled by hand to order in the Netherlands. You choose one of 12 frames for 1 to 10 lights and combine any of 15 metal shades (Cup, Bowl, Sphere, Cone and Cylinder, each in S, M and L) and 4 Lazise glass globes. Cup, Bowl, Sphere and Cone come in 11 matte colours, the Cylinder in Black, Cacao, Beige or White. Prices start at €87.
Can I choose glass shades?
Yes, for the pendants and Switch Ceiling. Lazise glass globes come in Satin Matt White, Gold Fume or Smoked Grey, Ø 15 to 30 cm, from €89 on a pendant: hang them on any pendant frame or the Switch 1L Pendant, on their own or mixed with metal shades. Switch Ceiling with a globe costs to (long stem +€11). Switch Wall, Table, Floor and the magnetic lamps take the metal shades only.
What is a Cylinder?
A Cylinder is the whole lamp head: a metal tube, closed at the top, with no separate socket cap. It takes a GU10 bulb, our LED GU10 (not included). It comes in Ø 5.5 × 8, 15 or 30 cm (€18, €23 or €29), in Black, Cacao, Beige or White, for every pendant frame, Switch Ceiling and Switch Wall (S and M). It is sold only as part of a lamp, not on its own. More about the Cylinders.
Are light bulbs included?
No, bulbs are sold separately; every light takes its own dimmable bulb. A metal shade takes our LED E27 Tube (€12,95), a Cylinder our LED GU10 (€8,95), a Lazise Ø 15 and the magnetic lamps our LED deco bulb S (€12,95), a Lazise Ø 20, 25 or 30 our LED deco bulb L (€16,95).
How long does delivery take?
Every Switch is assembled by hand to order in our workshop in the Netherlands and ships in 2–3 weeks (10–14 working days). Delivery is free in the EU. The free sample pack arrives in 1–5 working days, for €5 delivery.
Which countries do you deliver to?
We deliver to every country in the European Union, and delivery is free. We do not deliver to Switzerland, Norway or the United Kingdom.
Can I change the shades or colours later?
Yes. Every metal shade fits every frame and is also sold on its own (S €39, M €49, L €69), and so is every Lazise glass globe (€89 to €149), so you can swap shapes, colours or glass whenever you like. A Cylinder is not sold on its own, so it cannot be swapped later. Spare parts are available for life.
Which frame colours are there?
Black, Cacao, Beige or White. The frame colour covers the ceiling frame and the socket caps on the shades, and on the other Switch lamps the canopy, stem, wall plate, arm, base, pole, magnet holder and socket cap; you choose it in the configurator or on the product page. On the pendants and the table, floor and magnetic lamps, the cord follows the frame: black with a Black or Cacao frame, beige with Beige, transparent with White.
What warranty and returns do you offer?
Every Switch has a 5-year warranty, and spare parts are available for life. You can return your Switch within 30 days, including a design you configured yourself. Return shipping is paid by the customer.
Can I see the colours before ordering?
Yes. The free sample pack contains real matte colour samples and 1:10 scale 3D-printed shade models, so you can compare colours and sizes at home. It is delivered in 1–5 working days for €5.
How high should a Switch hang above my table?
Hang the lowest shade 60–75 cm above a dining table; 65 cm is a good default. Over a kitchen island, allow 75–90 cm above the worktop. Choose a linear frame of ½ to ⅔ of your table length, with at least 15 cm free at each end.
How long are the cords, and can I shorten them?
All cords are PVC; pendant cords hang up to 150 cm, or up to 350 cm on the Round 35, Round 50 and Round 70. You can shorten the cord yourself by adjusting the strain relief. Need it longer? We make custom lengths on request.
