Globe Wall Light for Bedside, Opal Glass Sconce on Solid Wood

Two materials, one shape each. That is the whole design, and it is why it works on almost any wall.

An opal glass sphere rests against a block of solid wood, held so that it seems to lean rather than sit — the glass stands proud of the timber and casts its own shadow onto it. Opal rather than clear means the whole globe glows evenly, with no bright point anywhere on it, which is what makes this comfortable at close range beside a bed. Walnut for depth, natural oak for a lighter room. Two sizes, three light tones.

An opal globe leaning against a solid wood block

• Even glow, no hot spot: opal glass throughout, so the sphere reads as one soft light rather than a shade with a bulb behind it
• Solid wood mount: a turned block rather than a metal plate — the grain and the shadow under the globe are both part of it
• Two sizes: the smaller globe beside a bed, the larger where it has a wall to itself
• Three light tones: warm through neutral, so the same fitting suits a bedroom or a hallway

Close-range light

A globe with no hot spot is the one kind of wall light you can put at head height beside a pillow. There is no angle at which it glares, which is the practical reason to choose opal over clear.

Wood softens the wall

Metal wall fittings read as hardware on plaster. A wooden block reads as furniture, which is what lets this sit in a bedroom without looking like it was specified by an electrician.

Pairs beside a bed

Two of the smaller size at matching heights frees both nightstands entirely. Fit them at shoulder height when sitting up, not at standing eye level.

Frequently asked questions

Is it comfortable beside a bed?
Yes. Opal glass gives no bright point, so there is no angle at which it glares at head height.

Which size for a nightstand?
The smaller globe. The larger suits a wall with nothing else on it.

Is the wood solid?
Yes. The block is turned timber, not a veneered plate.
