Vale by Andlight
Vancouver designer Caine Heintzman’s Vale series is now offered in a ceiling/wall sconce format. Surface-mounted vertically or horizontally, individually or in groupings, the thermoformed acrylic diffuser projects light through a prismatic lens, creating an intriguing effect. Ideal for use in narrow corridors or spaces with low ceilings, the rigorous design conceals the electrical assembly and mounting system within a minimal aluminum frame finished in Anthracite, Rust or Silica.

Top by Vibia
Composed of two concentric circles, the Top wall sconce by Barcelona-based studio Ramos Bassols is reminiscent of a bull’s eye — albeit one that emits a dreamy ambient glow. Tucked neatly behind the inner sphere, an LED reflects light back toward the outer one, creating a halo effect. Top is made from aluminum and offered in four sizes — mini, small, medium and large (the last of which has an uncovered glass diffuser for general illumination) — and four pastel colourways.

Akoya by Fabbian
Playing with geometry, Milan designer Filippo Protasoni transforms two flat discs into a three-dimensional sphere with the insertion of a blown-glass orb. Evoking the image of a clam grasping its coveted pearl, Akoya is simple yet striking. Available in White, Anthracite and Corten finishes, it can be installed with the LED diffuser pointing in any direction along its circumference.

Opus by Modern Forms
With its open-ended cuff-like design, Opus washes walls in light both upward and down; gold leaf inside its bronze-finished metal body enhances the luminous effect of the integrated LED. The folded fixture — which can be mounted in any direction — has a quiet elegance and is suitable for use in residential and hospitality settings.
