This solid wood wall light, 13 cm wide and 21 cm high, brings luminous stone indoors. Its body of solid walnut and raw travertine carries a diffuser of translucent travertine, set off by black metal. A solid wood wall light this compact is made so that a single piece is enough to hold a wall.

A translucent solid wood wall light that holds the eye

At 13 cm wide and 21 cm high, this solid wood wall light takes gathered proportions, settled rather than slender. Solid walnut and raw travertine form the body, while the integrated diffuser is a translucent travertine, a mineral that lets light through. When the bulb comes on the stone changes, and its shading appears like a window of mineral glass. A solid wood wall light of this build therefore carries two lights in one, that of the bulb and that of the material filtering it. The technical accents in premium glass and fine metalwork take a black finish, which draws clean edges around the stone. In a contemporary lounge, warm timber against graphic black suggests a collected object rather than a plain fitting. A solid wood wall light like this sits beside a bookcase, above a sideboard or along a hallway. The integrated wiring allows mounting on a wall or on a ceiling, two ways of working with luminous stone. On a ceiling the diffuser becomes a small mineral bowl, on a wall it stays compact and sculptural. Its modest size also makes a solid wood wall light of this kind easy to repeat along one wall, where three or four together build a rhythm of light.

Specification of the translucent solid wood wall light

This solid wood wall light takes a single standard E27 Edison screw (ES) bulb cap, with wiring integrated. It accepts a bulb of 40W maximum, incandescent or the LED equivalent, which is not included. That 40W ceiling leaves room to suit the bulb to the size of the room. Compatible with a dimmer, not included, this solid wood wall light can move from a low glow to a firmer light. It is rated for damp locations, which opens it to bathrooms and to covered outdoor spaces. It answers to North American, European, Australian and Middle Eastern standards. The premium glass and the black metalwork give this solid wood wall light the discipline of a careful assembly. No flex breaks the silhouette, because the wiring runs inside the structure. A height of 21 cm and a width of 13 cm suit a mid-level position, beside a mirror or a door, and in a room with a low ceiling that modest height is a practical point rather than a detail. A solid wood wall light of these proportions therefore finds its place in a bedroom as readily as in a bathroom, and its integrated diffuser does away with any separate shade. For an electrician the job is straightforward, a single E27 cap, a 40W ceiling and wiring already run inside the body of the solid wood wall light.

Living with a solid wood wall light day to day

To show the translucent travertine properly, avoid setting your solid wood wall light into a recess so tight that it smothers the light. A clear wall, plain for preference, lets the stone act as the focal point. For a pair, fit two at the same height either side of a bed or a mirror, which is how most rooms want them. A solid wood wall light takes willingly to linen, leather or wool, textiles that answer the warmth of walnut. Choose a bulb whose colour carries the mood of the room, warm white for a snug lounge, more neutral for a bathroom. Remember that the limit is 40W and that an equivalent LED bulb sits well inside it. In a bathroom or under a porch, this solid wood wall light has the damp rating behind it. In the evening the travertine lights from within, while by day it reads as a piece of stone resting on timber. That double life is what makes a translucent solid wood wall light both decorative and useful. Set at eye level it attracts attention without glare, because the stone filters the source. In a room with a standard low ceiling, a solid wood wall light of 21 cm sits comfortably above a bedside table without closing the wall in.

Compact, luminous and sculptural, this solid wood wall light mixes solid walnut, translucent travertine and black metal in a format of 13 cm by 21 cm. Fitted to a wall or a ceiling, it brings an interior light filtered through stone and a material you want to touch.
