Why parents love the Mr Maria Boris Star Light Lamp

A design classic, not just a night light. Mr Maria was founded in Amsterdam in 2006, and the Boris Star Light is one of their most iconic pieces — a lamp that looks as at home in a considered nursery aesthetic as it does in a child's imagination. The star silhouette gives Boris a sculptural, graphic quality that parents love long after the baby stage.

Practical night mode that actually works. The sixth brightness setting is designed for overnight use — a barely-there glow that's gentle enough not to disturb sleep, but provides just enough light for night feeds, nappy changes, and settling without switching on a full light.

Australian-ready out of the box. The included Australian adaptor means no hunting for converters or plug adaptors — it arrives ready to use. The touch dimmer cord makes adjusting brightness effortless in a dark room.

An investment that holds its value. At $289.95, this is a considered purchase — and the 2-year warranty, Netherlands craftsmanship, and durable polyethylene build mean it's made to last. Many families keep these lamps long after their children have outgrown the nursery.

FAQs

Can I leave the Boris Star Light on all night?
Yes — the sixth brightness setting is specifically designed as a night mode. It produces an extremely soft, gentle glow that's safe for overnight use without disturbing your child's sleep. Many parents use it as a permanent night light in the nursery or child's bedroom.

What is the difference between the Boris Star Light and the Boris First Light?
The Star Light is a larger plug-in lamp (25 × 41 × 30 cm) made from durable polyethylene, with a touch dimmer cord and 6 brightness settings — a statement nursery piece. The First Light is a smaller rechargeable silicone lamp (30 cm tall) designed for portability. The Star Light is better suited to a fixed bedside or floor placement; the First Light for travel and moving around the home.

Does the Boris Star Light need any additional accessories?
No — an Australian adaptor is included so it's completely ready to use upon arrival. Simply plug it in, touch the dimmer cord to turn it on, and adjust to your preferred brightness.

Is the Boris Star Light suitable as a nursery lamp?
Absolutely. The touch dimmer cord lets you adjust brightness without fumbling in a dark room, the night mode setting is gentle enough to leave on all night, and the warm sculptural form creates a calming nursery environment. It works as both a decorative piece and a fully functional nursery lamp.
