Clog by Modern Forms

While engineered for the outdoors, the Clog wall sconce from Modern Forms makes an equally graceful addition to interiors. Celebrating the role of stone in architectural design, the fixture is made from basalt (shown) or travertine and features an elongated arched form mounted on an extended oval plate; light is emitted through a central carved line and the stone’s naturally occurring pores while also reflecting off its metal backing.

Ferro by Tabitha Isobel

The Ferro plug-in wall lamp is one piece in a larger debut homewares collection (which also includes a side table and a mirror) by U.K. interior designer Tabitha Isobel in collaboration with maker Dom Callaghan. Handmade by Callaghan, the limited-edition light fixture is composed of a sheet of stainless steel folded into a geometric form that plays with light and shadow in a moody manner, striking a precise balance between function and sculpture.

Akner by Studio Luddite

When devising the Akner wall lamp, designer and Studio Luddite founder Lex Zee explored the concept of lighting as adornment, looking to jewellery for inspiration: Individually cast brass beads are strung on a tensioned steel cable like a necklace and suspended in the air like dramatic, sculptural earrings. Concealed by the curved glass shade, the light source reflects a soft glow downward to highlight the details of the fixture.

Torche by Foscarini

Designers Mattia Cimadoro and Giuseppe Mauro created the Torche wall lamp for Foscarini based on a concept by their late studio founder, Rodolfo Dordoni. Similar in shape to the namesake handheld light, the clean-lined fixture appears to float in front of the wall, its glow expanding both upward in a broad intense beam and downward with a more focused radiance. Made from die-cast aluminum, Torche is available in three silky matte finishes: copper, lead and titanium.
