The travertine wall light SHIWU reinterprets the classic reading light in the spirit of Wabi-Sabi – its silhouette recalls a small mushroom.
Design and materials
A half-round dome of untreated travertine sits at the end of a curved metal arm with a dark bronze look. The arm grows from a round base of solid brown wood. The open pores of the stone and the fibres of the wood form a lively contrast with the smooth metal. The integrated LED light stays concentrated beneath the dome and makes its rim glow warmly. A touch switch turns the light on and off. The pores and tone of the travertine vary from piece to piece. The light is intended as mood lighting and suits smaller zones such as a bedside, a reading corner or an alcove, rather than serving as a room’s main light.

Where the light comes into its own
Beside the bed, SHIWU becomes an atmospheric reading light operated by touch. In the living room, it adds a warm point of light in a reading corner or above a bench. In a study or entrance, it brings a calm, natural note to the wall. Travertine and wood harmonise with linen, rattan and soft earth tones.
