The acrylic and wood block wall sconce is a small, solid form that punctuates a wall rather than decorating it. Light escapes from the sides of the body in an even layer, so the piece glows all round instead of throwing a single beam, and the effect is soft enough to leave on through an evening in a hallway, a stairwell, a bedroom or a living room.

Metal, acrylic and wood are combined in a white and wood colorway, pairing a crisp diffuser with a warm natural edge that keeps the minimal shape from feeling cold. The light source is an integrated LED, so there is no bulb to buy or replace, and the diffused output is energy efficient. This version is supplied in a cool light color temperature, which reads clean and bright against white or pale walls.

The sconce measures 5.9 in long by 5.5 in wide by 6.7 in high (15 by 14 by 17 cm), compact enough to repeat along a corridor or to flank a bed or a mirror in pairs. It is hardwired at AC 110-240V and connects to an external wall light switch that controls the supply; that switch is not included. Have the connection made by a qualified electrician, and use the piece in dry indoor locations only.
