Quick answer
Choose the Bolt Sconce for a dramatic sculptural silhouette that turns a single LED light around corners, or the Hexagon Sconce for a geometric honeycomb look that becomes an immersive wall sculpture in multiples.
Design philosophy: sculpture versus geometry
The Bolt Sconce takes inspiration from nature's most awe-inspiring display of light, reimagined as a highly sculptural sconce with a series of twists and turns. Its devious silhouette is powered by custom components that allow a single LED light source to turn corners, creating a strong, dynamic line.
The Hexagon Sconce celebrates the ordered beauty of a beehive honeycomb. Bursts of radiant LED light are contained within its hexagonal wood frame, softening the stark silhouette. In multiples it becomes an immersive wall sculpture, urging onlookers to reflect on its movement and capture of light.
Material and finish options
Both sconces are available in Solid Walnut or White Oak, with metal options in Powder Coated or Brushed finishes. The Hexagon Sconce also features a Hardwax Oil Finish and an inward-facing light direction at 3000K, which gives a warmer, more contained glow. The Bolt Sconce does not specify color temperature, so you may need to check availability for your preferred warmth.
