Objects that
do something
Nothing here just sits on a shelf. Lamps that put an ocean, an orbit or a reef on a nightstand, and a crystal that needs nothing plugged in. Free shipping, a gift in every box, thirty days to change your mind.

Turn it on,
then look
Press the button and the lamp walks through the whole spectrum. The cube waits for a four o’clock sunbeam and paints the wall. Between them your room is never the same color twice.

Neither of these is a trick.
One is optics and one is a circuit. Mauna would rather tell you than let you find out.
The cube splits sunlight
- White light arrivesSunlight is every color traveling together in one beam.
- The glass slows itEntering dense K9 glass, each color bends by a slightly different angle.
- They leave apartRed bends least, violet bends most. That gap is the rainbow on your wall.
Same principle as a camera prism. It needs direct light from one direction — a window, not a ceiling lamp.
The lamps mix their own
- Three tiny emittersRed, green and blue sit under the resin, aimed up through the scene.
- The button steps the mixEach press changes how much of each one is on. That is the color change.
- It stays putIt holds the color you left it on until you press again. Nothing cycles on its own.
Runs cool, costs almost nothing to leave on, and the resin scene is what makes the light look like water. Fixed bases hold one color; only the RGB ones change.
Mauna means silence
In Sanskrit it is not the absence of sound, but the kind you choose. In space there is no sound at all, because sound needs air to travel through and there isn’t any. Mauna puts a piece of that on a nightstand.
Nothing here is orange unless something is happening there.

Every box has
a stowaway
A Thinker Figure — small, resin, sandstone finish — ships with whatever you order. You didn’t add it to the cart and you’re not paying for it. It’s just in there.
Start an orderThe six questions
that come up first.
If yours is not here, the contact page reaches a person, not a queue.
All the questionsIs shipping really free?
Yes, on every order, to all 50 states, with no minimum. There is no shipping line at checkout because there is nothing to add.
What is the free gift, exactly?
A Thinker Figure — a small resin sculpture with a sandstone finish. It goes in every box. You cannot buy it and you cannot add it to the cart.
How long does delivery take?
Six to ten days: 1 to 3 days to pack, then 5 to 8 days in transit. Calendar days, not business days. Every product page shows the window counted from today.
Where does Mauna ship from?
Mauna does not have a warehouse. Objects leave the workshop that makes them and go straight to your address, which is why delivery takes six to ten days instead of two. Nothing is repacked in between, and the free gift is added at the workshop.
What if it arrives broken?
One photo of the object and one of the box. Replacement or refund in full, your choice, and return shipping is never yours to pay.
Why are there no reviews yet?
Because nothing has shipped, and Mauna does not invent them, buy them, or copy them from a supplier’s listing. When reviews appear they will carry the unit number of the box they came from.
