The Wood and Metal Cone Wall Sconce keeps things plain but not plain-spoken. A smooth metal cone shade meets a natural wood mount, and the two materials together stop the fixture from reading as cold or purely industrial. The cone throws light in a defined direction rather than spilling it everywhere, which is exactly what a bedside or a reading nook needs. It measures 5.9 x 8.7 x 7.9 in (15 x 22 x 20 cm).

Metal and wood make up the whole construction, offered in three colorways: white with wood, grey with wood and green with wood. The socket takes an E26 or E27 LED or Edison filament bulb, so you set the brightness and the warmth; a warm bulb keeps the wood looking rich and softens the edge of the beam where it lands on a page, a headboard or a run of wall.

It suits a bedside where there is no room for a table lamp, a hallway that needs punctuation, a reading corner or a stairwell. The green colorway in particular pairs well with plaster walls and dark timber. The sconce mounts to the wall and connects to an external wall light switch, which controls the supply and is not included. It runs on AC 110-240V and is intended for indoor use.
