Reading in bed like never before.
LiliLite is a bedside shelf, reading light, and bookmark in one. Lift your book from the oak peak and a sensor turns the warm LED task light on, angled so pages stay clear without glare. When you slide the book back, the peak holds your place and the lamp switches off. One unit frees nightstand space and keeps cords and stacks under control.
At a glance
LiliLite keeps bedtime reading simple: one wall-mounted piece replaces a separate lamp, stack, and bookmark. Use the short videos on this page to see the sensor, mounting, and finish options.
- Light when you read: choose an LED bulb in the warmth and brightness you prefer (interchangeable standard fitting).
- Off when you rest: returning the book to the shelf triggers the sensor so the lamp does not stay on by mistake.
- Room for essentials: the shallow shelf fits your current book plus a slim notebook or e-reader.
Before you drill, read the wall mount guide for height, tools, and wall types. Ready to order? See colors and delivery on the LiliLite product page.

Elegant &
simple design.
LiliLite is easy to use and quiet in the room. The slim oak shelf and soft metal bracket read as furniture, not gadgets, so the lamp fits small bedrooms, guest rooms, and reading corners alike. Finish and fabric choices in the shop let you match warm or cool wall tones.
Try LiliLite in your bedroom
Styling notes
Mount LiliLite at shoulder height when you sit up in bed. That keeps the beam across the page instead of into your eyes. Cables run down the bracket in a single line, which helps if your outlet sits low behind the bed.

What people say about LiliLite
“LiliLite is a genius solution for your bedside pile of to-be-read books. An incredibly pretty bookshelf, bookmark and reading lamp all in one.”
“Here’s a brilliant little piece of industrial design: Amsterdam-based Thijs Smeets has carefully considered the way people read in bed, and devised the LiliLite to meet every need within that seemingly simple act.”
“This is probably the most ingenious design when it comes to reading lamps!”
“This is a great solution for small bedrooms!”
“The exhibition of LiliLite in our New York pop-up gallery was great, people loved it.”
“We really love LiliLite and we would like to sell it in our museum store.”
“If the point wasn’t that LiliLite is such a great space saver, I’d get three.”
“We have been using LiliLites for years now, and we still love them!”
“Navigating the nightstand obstacle course - book, lamp, and water glass - all too often ends in a destructive inundation. Seek higher ground with the LiliLite: pull your book from the wooden peak to turn the lamp on. Set your tome back down and it’s good night, light. The other end stores that copy of Gravity’s Rainbow you’re still pretending to read.”

Responsive switch
LiliLite turns on when you lift your book and off when you set it down, so you are never hunting for a switch in the dark. The sensor sits under the wooden peak and only reacts when weight is removed or replaced.
Space saving
Ease nightstand clutter: LiliLite is your lamp, shelf, and bookmark using vertical wall space. Anti-skid silicone caps keep the unit steady on painted or wallpapered walls.
Energy efficient
Standard LED bulbs screw into the fitting so you can tune colour temperature and brightness. Low draw overnight reading stays inexpensive and cool to the touch.
Hands-on
If you want light without a book on the shelf, use the inline switch on the cable. That keeps the lamp useful for journaling or late-night notes.
Easy to mount
LiliLite ships with printed steps and the hardware you need for solid walls. One moulding works on either side of the bed: flip it for left- or right-hand reach.
Durable
The shelf is steam-bent plywood with an American oak veneer, shaped as one piece for strength and a calm grain line.
Before you mount
Check wall anchor suitability, the cable path to your nearest outlet, and whether you read on the left or right side of the bed. Questions about plugs or delivery are easiest to resolve through the Contact page before you order.
