Bronx Sconce
Best statement lighting for urban design enthusiasts seeking industrial-inspired warmth.
The Bronx Sconce, a collaboration with The Brownstone Boys, draws inspiration from the Bronx's rich musical heritage, subtly referencing a vinyl record. This contemporary wall fixture masterfully combines textured concrete, a metal grate reminiscent of city manhole covers, and rippled glass. The double-walled glass diffuser creates a warm, halo effect, mimicking soundwave patterns. Hand-crafted in the U.S.A., this dimmable sconce embodies the borough's innovative spirit and cultural dynamism, adding a touch of urban sophistication to any space. It requires two E12 T3 bulbs, not included.
