Story
A frame on the wall
The Kontorno wall light is by Sebastian Herkner and dates from 2021. It is a large-scale sconce affixed to the wall, with a sleek black frame embedded with LEDs.
Glass and frame
The cylindrical diffuser is mouthblown glass, attached to the wall by the lean frame, which is visible only in profile. It has a pure, timeless look and generates a warm, 360-degree glow. The pure volumes produce a delicate balance within the graphic geometric architecture.
Large spaces
The substantial silhouette of the sconce means that even a single luminaire can brighten an interior from the wall.
