shifting light + mood
A sconce is a statement of quiet intention that shifts the mood of a space without saying a word. It’s not just about light; it’s about how that light interacts with a room— how it behaves on walls, softens edges, and creates a rhythm. I’m drawn to sconces that are like moments of stillness—raw, imperfect, and somehow more present because of it. Below are a few that have lingered with me—pieces that don’t just illuminate a room, but quietly redefine its energy.

A warm glow is cast from hard angles while it’s heavy aluminum is welded with just the right amount of attitude.

elbow wall light
A moody little contortionist of a sconce—bent just enough to look effortlessly cool but not enough to seem like it’s trying. I love it in aluminum..
