Description
The Swirl is a compact wall light built around a hand-finished resin spiral that extends from the wall plate, supporting a cream fabric rectangular shade. The resin base is finished in antiqued gold leaf, where the gold coating is deliberately aged and distressed to reveal tonal variation and darker accents in the recesses of the spiral form. The shade measures 254mm high by 178mm wide and sits 102mm from the wall once fitted.
Designed for hallways, bedroom reading positions, and alcoves where a decorative wall light can sit close to the wall without projecting far into the room, the Swirl provides directional upward and downward light through the top and bottom of the fabric shade. The compact projection of 102mm suits narrow hallways and positions next to beds or dressing tables where deeper wall lights would obstruct movement. The E27 socket accepts standard Edison screw bulbs up to 60W (sold separately), allowing control over light temperature and brightness.
The resin spiral is cast and then hand-finished, so each piece carries slight variation in the gold leaf application and the depth of antiquing in the crevices. The fabric shade is a linen-textured weave in a neutral cream tone that softens the light output and complements both the gold finish and the wall colour in most interiors. The combination of the organic spiral form and the structured rectangular shade creates a balance between decorative and functional that suits traditional, transitional and warm contemporary schemes.
Flambeau produces decorative lighting with an emphasis on hand-applied finishes and architectural detailing. The Swirl range includes matching ceiling lights and larger wall lights in the same antiqued gold leaf finish for coordinated schemes across multiple rooms.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does it take?
The Swirl takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 5-8W and 2700K-3000K for ambient bedroom or hallway lighting.
How far does it project from the wall?
The fitting projects 102mm from the wall once installed, making it suitable for narrow hallways and positions next to beds or dressing tables where deeper wall lights would obstruct movement.
Is the gold leaf finish the same on every piece?
No. Each resin spiral is hand-finished with antiqued gold leaf, so the depth of distressing and the tonal variation in the gold coating differ between individual pieces. This is a feature of the hand-applied finish, not a defect.
Can it be used in a bathroom?
The Swirl carries no IP rating and is designed for dry interior use only. It is not suitable for bathrooms unless installed outside the designated zones where moisture and steam are present.
