Story
Material as important as shape
Babila demonstrates that, in a design, the material can matter as much as the shape. The outdoor wall sconce is made of polished stainless steel, a circular object whose surface reflects what is around it.
Not an architectural element
The sconce is not designed to be an architectural element but a simple and beautiful design that draws attention whether it is on or off. It lets us catch a glimpse of the daily life occurring around it. Its lighting is indirect and soft on the wall, and well integrated into outside spaces.
