Ceramic Wall Lights
Ceramic wall lights combine sculptural shapes with a matt, crafted-looking surface. Rippled, pleated and ribbed shades create a lively play of light and shadow on the wall. In this collection you will find ceramic wall lights with brass arms and brackets, as well as organic shapes that still work as a wall object when switched off.
Tips for ceramic wall lights
- By the bed: a ceramic shade on a brass arm can replace the bedside lamp and gives directional light.
- In the living room: two lights to the left and right of a sideboard or painting create a calm symmetry.
- Style: cream ceramic with brass suits Japandi, wabi-sabi and vintage interiors.
Textured surfaces look their best when the wall behind is calm and pale. Mounting type, connection and dimensions are listed for each model. A hardwired installation is a job for a qualified electrician.
Frequently asked questions
How do you clean a ceramic wall light?
Switch the light off and let it cool. Dust matt ceramic with a soft, dry cloth; for grooves and pleats, as on PLOSIO or CELAINE, a soft brush works well. Avoid abrasive products so that both the surface and the brass arm stay in good condition.
Does a ceramic shade let light through?
Ceramic is usually opaque: the shade directs light out of its opening, while waves and grooves create a play of light and shadow on the wall. If you'd like a visible glow, choose a model with a luminous centre, such as GANO with its opal core set in a wavy ceramic form, or the flower-shaped VOA.
What size ceramic wall light should I choose?
It depends on the space. A compact shade such as PLOSIA, 13 cm in diameter, sits nicely beside a bed or in a narrow hallway. LETTA, with its 21 cm wavy shade, has more presence, for example above a sideboard. All dimensions are listed on the product page of each model.
