Must-Haves: Surface Appeal

Surface Appeal - Sconces

By Kyle Fulton

Adding architectural edge to walls along with illumination, the Gridlock Sconce was inspired by the Brutalist movement. Assembled by hand from thousands of brass parts, the Philippe Malouin for Roll & Hill light has raw appeal. www.rollandhill.com

Designed by Alison Berger for Holly Hunt the AB Lure Sconce is a luminous mix of hand blown glass and bronze hardware. Inspired by the elegant simplicity of fishing poles, it uses a grommet and reel to hold the lamp line in place. www.hollyhunt.com

Each one-of-a-kind Catch Sconce has opal glass blown directly into the brushed brass fixture. Illuminating a brief moment in time, the two elements fuse together as the glass cools and organically slumps due to gravity. www.lindseyadelman.com

Providing striking ambient light, set by Xuclà for Vibia is both decorative and utilitarian. With moveable elements it can be as grand or modest as required, transforming walls with a play of light and shadow. www.vibia.com
