Description
The Rigoberta Super Curved wall light is a playful piece of modern lighting: a smooth tube of matt white iron bent into a tall arch, with a round disc at the foot of each side and a third disc set at the centre of the curve. It is an indirect wall light, so rather than throwing a hard beam across the room it casts a soft glow onto the wall around it, with opal glass to diffuse the light evenly. It measures 27.5cm tall and 24cm wide, and stands just 9cm out from the wall, so it sits close and neat even where space is tight. It uses the GX53 lamp cap and runs on 220-240V mains.
Rated IP20, it is for dry rooms only, and there it has plenty of homes. We like it in a hallway or on a landing, where a gentle glow at wall height makes the way past easier on the eye, and either side of a bed in place of bedside lamps. In a living room or dining room it gives background light to sit alongside a ceiling pendant or a floor lamp. It suits anyone drawn to modern design with a sense of fun: the rounded arch and discs feel friendly rather than severe.
The structure is iron in a matt white finish, paired with opal glass, and it carries a 3 year guarantee. It works on a simple on-off switch rather than a dimmer. As a mains fitting, it is for a qualified electrician to install. For styling, the white arch looks crisp on a coloured wall: try it against sage, terracotta or a deep blue, where the curve and discs stand out and the indirect light washes the paint in a soft halo. Fitted as a pair either side of a bed or a mirror, the two arches balance each other neatly.
