The Fairport Swingarm Wall Sconce by Hudson Valley Lighting features a slightly-tapered, faux silk shade that can move laterally via a gentle swing arm. Inside the shade, a single light source shines undiffused through the top and bottom openings while also permeating through the opaque material for a warm, relaxing glow. The fixture’s sleek, minimalist appearance makes it a perfect addition to modern settings, especially as a living room or bedside reading lamp.
