Modern Wall Sconce | Up and Down Layered Metal Wall Light In A Matte White or Black Finish

Layered metal is what gives this sconce depth rather than a flat face. The panels sit slightly proud of each other, so light leaving the top and the bottom grazes across those edges on its way out and the fitting has shadow in it as well as glow. A single flat plate gives you the light and none of the structure, which is why most sconces at this price look thinner than they cost.

Up and down output is the functional half. Two soft columns run along the wall rather than one pool aimed into the room, which suits a stairway, a hallway or a home theatre where you want to see where you are going without a bright source in your eyeline. It reads as architectural lighting rather than as a lamp on a wall.

Buy it now for a stairway, a bedroom feature wall or a media room.
