Made for the hour after lights-out
Moonbeam & Co. designs night lights, wall art, canopies, bedding and storage for children’s rooms in Melbourne - calm, dreamy pieces that are as safe as they are lovely.
We started in 2019 with a single problem: a three-year-old who was scared of the dark and a night light that got too hot to touch. Our founder, Nina Okafor, a lighting designer by trade, built a moon lamp from a low-voltage LED strip, a hand-turned shade and a fade timer - and the neighbours started asking for one.
Every product now begins in our Brunswick studio with a simple question: would we put this beside our own child’s bed? Lamps are low-voltage and cool-touch. Paints and stains are water-based and tested to EN 71-3. Fabrics are OEKO-TEX certified cotton, and anything that could tip or pull comes with anchors and tidies in the box.
We make in small runs with two family workshops - a woodshop in Ballarat and a textile studio in Geelong - and design each collection around a room theme children actually ask for: Space, Jungle, Ocean and Fairytale. Our 60-night trial exists because you only really know a room works after a few weeks of bedtimes.

What customers say
“Our son went from three wake-ups a night to sleeping through within a week. The moon lamp fades out so slowly he never notices it going.”
“I touched the lamp at 6am after it had been on all night and it was barely warm. That was the moment I ordered the second one.”
“The canopy turned a plain bunk into a castle. She reads under it with a torch every single night now.”
