Nordic Wood and Leather Wall Lamp | Hanging Shade Bedside Light In A Black or White Finish

A shade that hangs from an arm rather than sitting on one changes the light completely. It drops the source lower and throws a defined vertical pool down the wall, which is what you want beside a bed where the light should land on a book rather than spread across the whole room and wake whoever is asleep on the other side of the bed. That is the job most bedside sconces get wrong.

The leather strap is the detail that makes it look made rather than manufactured. A wooden arm, a wrought iron body and a strap holding the shade is three materials doing three jobs, and leather is the only one that will age visibly and improve while it does. Two finishes cover a natural timber look or a black and white scheme.

Buy it now as a pair either side of a bed, which frees both nightstands and always reads more deliberate than one. It measures eighteen by twenty five by nine centimetres, takes an E27 or LED bulb which is not included, and covers three to five square metres. This is a hardwired fixture and should be installed by a qualified electrician with the circuit isolated first.
