Industrial and contemporary sconces

In this type of lighting, the spotlight is king: the light emanates directly from the bulb, which is not hidden or concealed but openly displayed, without screens, lampshades or other accessories that stain the light. and other variants.

The return to this type of lighting is largely due to the rise of industrial and contemporary styles, and within them today we will focus on one of its most interesting typologies: wall sconces.

The industrial style wall sconces remind us of factory and industrial lighting where the wiring was fully exposed and attached as best it could to the walls and beams of the interior.

This has given way to domestic designs where a small wooden bracket structure serves as a pin and attachment for the lamp's power cord. The wall lamp itself is composed of the wooden support, a metal socket design in copper, aged gold or lacquered, an incandescent filament lamp with a retro design and a textile cord that tries to give a more sophisticated air to such a functional and primitive element.

For their part, the contemporary style wall sconces combine lamps with a certain industrial air with totally innovative design supports, with modern and rounded lines in metallic or lacquered tones.

This type of sconce consists of a glass bulb (sometimes tinted in black or silver) and a halogen, LED or other bulb recessed in its holder. Contemporary style sconces hide any wiring and offer a totally clean and neat finish.

Another novelty in the decoration with wall sconces is the fusion of the concept of wall lamp with table or ceiling lamp in which the lamp can be moved and oriented by means of an extendable arm that in turn is fixed to the wall.

This modality is frequently used in the design of hotels and restaurants, since they allow directing the light without varying the distribution of the light points, adapting to different situations.

For its part, its use in the home has gained many followers for the sophisticated touch it provides, its striking design and its functionality: by simply varying the position of its arm, it can serve as a reading light on the bedside table, as a central light point for a meeting in the living room or as a support light during the night.

Isn't it true that they are very original? Well, as usual, we leave you with a few more examples of industrial and contemporary style wall sconces so you can be trendy.
