Quadra Square Wall Lamp

The Quadra Square Wall Lamp treats a bare wall as a surface to be shaped rather than simply lit. Light escapes from the open top and bottom of the square frame, drawing two soft bands up and down the plaster while the frame itself stays dark and graphic. Switched off it still holds its own as a piece of geometry above a bed or along a corridor.

Because the output is indirect, there is no bulb to catch your eye at head height, which makes it comfortable in hallways and stairwells where people pass close to the wall. Mounted in pairs either side of a bed it gives a symmetrical wash that a single ceiling fitting cannot. Velleora Home Decor kept the projection shallow so it does not intrude into narrow spaces.

The finish is a low-sheen coating chosen to hide fingerprints and the small marks walls collect near switches. It fits a standard recessed back box, and installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician with the circuit isolated. Wipe with a dry cloth; avoid solvents, which will dull the coating over time.
