Carlson Swing Arm Wall Light with Plug – Grey

The Carlson pairs a matte black steel frame with a soft grey fabric shade, giving you a plug-in wall light that works without any hard wiring. The swing arm adjusts across a depth from 170mm out to 405mm, so you can position the light exactly where you need it for reading, task work or gentle background glow. An inline switch on the cord makes it easy to turn on and off from your seat.

The tapered drum shade sits at the end of the arm and casts a warm, even wash of light through the woven fabric. Because it plugs into a standard socket, the Carlson suits rented rooms and spaces where you would rather not run new cabling. The round wall plate keeps the fixing compact and the black finish sits neatly against both painted and papered walls.

We think this works well beside a bed as a space-saving alternative to a table lamp, or flanking a sofa in the living room. The adjustable arm means one light can serve several tasks, while the neutral grey shade keeps the whole thing understated and easy to live with.
