The Big Black Sconce.
I know I post about this often, but this whole sconce as art, sculpture and lighting device is just so happening for me right now. This one thing: a long armed wall light- could solve so many design problems! Like: No overhead lighting in a NYC apartment (we all know what that means: concrete ceilings and 800 lamps), large awkward wall behind sofa that one can’t afford/doesnt want to fill with art, rooms that are too blah and need a JOLT of life… Well, just those few for now. But those are important! Plus a lot of these are plug ins, so you don’t have to have them hard wired. I love the idea of these pieces in addition to a single painting, alone on a wall, or even in a gallery… So basically, I always like it. Ha.
I did a little round up of my favorite pieces from around the web… not all of them are gigantic, but they are all the little !! or ?? or the ;;;;;; that a room needs.
High End:
1. Prouvé Potence Lamp $1720
2.Serge Mouille Two Arm Sconce – on sale for $4420
5.Tube Sconce $625.
And mid/high to low end:
PB Teen, $199, aint no shame in it! Atelier de Troupe, Large: $595, Small $395 WEST ELM, Long Arm Sconce- on sale for $99
I can think of at least 3 people that need big lamps hanging out of their walls right now. And unfortunately, none of them are me.













































Of course #2 is my fave
The Mouille never grows old- just SO good…I’m also quite loving the West Elm #- the chandy version too. And PS, posted a week picture of your hand painted walls on the old blogski today:)
You know I love me some Mouille! Glad to see the market has finally started making lower priced pieces inspired by this great designer. I have been trying to find a place for one of these affordable beauties. Thank you for shopping and sharing.
