Lino Curved Linen Wall Light

The Lino wraps a softly rounded shade of natural linen around a low metal backplate, so the fitting sits almost flush to the wall and glows rather than glares. Switched off it reads as a simple sculptural block of fabric; switched on it becomes one of the quietest, warmest lights in the room.

The shade is fabric over a metal frame in a natural linen whose weave shows through warmly once the lamp is lit. The open top and bottom wash light up the wall and down onto whatever sits below, so the effect is layered rather than flat. Beneath the shade, a rounded rectangular plate in a brushed metallic finish adds a quiet accent without tipping the piece into glitz.

It is a natural choice either side of a bed, where it frees up the surface of a bedside table, and it works just as well in a hallway or on a landing where a soft, always-welcoming light is wanted. Mount it a little above the mattress line beside a bed, or at roughly standing shoulder height in a corridor. This is an indoor fitting; wiring is a job for a qualified electrician, and the linen shade is best dusted with a soft brush rather than damp-wiped.
