The Vino Wall Sconce from Metropolitan Lighting pairs a single globe of etched alabaster glass with a curved steel arm that cradles the sphere against a flat circular backplate. The etched surface of the glass diffuses ambient light softly and evenly, eliminating any visible hotspot from the source within. The dark steel hardware is minimal — just the backplate, the arm, and the socket — so the frosted globe reads as the primary object. Being dimmable, the quality of light it produces can be kept understated or as bright as needed.
