Marble turns a warm amber when it is lit from behind, and this alabaster marble wall light is built around that single effect. A slim stone panel sits on a slender metal bracket, and two small lamps send light up and down the wall rather than out into the room.

A Warm Stone Glow at Wall Level

This sconce is made for rooms that need light without brightness. The vertical format takes very little wall, which makes it easy to place beside a bed, either side of a mirror or along a hallway where a ceiling light would feel too broad. The stone diffuses the lamps so the light reads as a soft column rather than a point, and the veining shows through as it warms. The brass finish suits cream walls, timber and rattan; the black bracket sits better against deeper paint and stone tiles. Because the beam travels up and down the wall, it lights the surface rather than your eyes, which is what makes it comfortable in the evening. Used in pairs it frames a bed or a basin; used singly it marks a corridor or a stair landing without crowding it.

Where to Use It

Place it either side of a bed at around 150 cm from the floor, beside a bathroom mirror at eye level, or in a run along a hallway. It also works above a console or in a stairwell where a table lamp has nowhere to sit.
