Description
The Rio Wall Light is a modern wall light made up of three simple parts: a round wall plate, a short horizontal arm and a rounded dome shade that hangs from the end of it. We like how clean the geometry is, with a flat disc on the wall, a straight arm running out from it and a smooth dome below, open at its base. It is built on an iron structure and finished in blue, and that blue runs through the plate, the arm and the shade, so the whole fitting reads as one confident shape against the wall. It comes in three sizes, 9cm, 12cm and 16cm, so you can match the scale of the fitting to the wall it sits on.
It is made for dry indoor rooms, and it is at home in hallways, on landings and in bedrooms. A pair either side of a bed frees the bedside tables, and a run of them along a passage sets a tidy rhythm down the wall. It works as well in a living room, a study or beside a reading chair. The 9cm size suits narrow walls and tighter spots, the 12cm sits comfortably in most rooms, and the 16cm holds its own on a larger wall. It suits anyone who likes modern design with a clear, cheerful colour rather than another neutral.
The iron structure gives the fitting its crisp lines, and the blue finish covers every part, from the wall plate to the rim of the shade. Because the shape is so simple, the colour does most of the work, so think about what sits around it. Blue looks fresh against white or pale grey walls, warm against oak and linen, and bold beside terracotta or ochre. For a calm scheme, keep to one size along a wall; for more character, mount it where its dome is seen side on.
