Inside Job

Color, form, and materiality shine to provide

ambience and visual punch.

By Kelly Beamon

Ludo

While its style was

inspired by a 1950s

Italian design, the Ludo

wall sconce is made in

America—now. New York

manufacturer Blueprint

Lighting designed the

11" x 6" brass and spun­

aluminum fixture to

swivel, providing up­ and

downlight. It works with

incandescent E12 cande­

labra­base lamps up to

40W or their LED alterna­

tives. Options include 36

standard enamel colors,

custom hues, and hard­

wired or plug­in versions.

Shaper Sense

Eaton Lighting partnered with felt­products manufac­

turer FilzFelt on a line of 3000K–4000K luminaires that

also control sound. The Shaper Sense series combines

FilzFelt’s 100% wool felt with Eaton’s edge­lit acrylic

panels to form box­, trapezoid­ and drum­shaped

pendants. All are open on top, providing two­way

illumination as well as improving daylight penetration

when the sun is out. Shaper Sense works with Eaton’s

wireless control systems.

Fascio

Architect Lauren Rottet created the Fascio Collection for Visual

Comfort with luxury in mind. The range includes wall sconces,

pendants, a floor lamp, and chandelier (shown), all made of crystal

rods bundled (as its Italian name implies) in a band of brass. Finish

options include bronze, polished nickel, and hand­rubbed antique

brass. The faceted crystal delivers a refracted, glare­free glow.

Mela

Sonneman’s blown­glass

LED pendant Mela, which

means apple in Italian, is

made more dynamic by its

dichroic surface and fruit­

like etched acrylic core.

Offered in three sizes, the

large (15" x 13¾"), medium

(11" x 10¼"), and small (7½"

x 7") versions deliver the

same warm, dimmable

3000K glow and a color

rendering index of 90. An

optional three­light canopy

is also available.
