Wall Sconce | PONTIUS (White)

The Pontius wall sconce by Sollux Lighting is a half-oval shell in white ceramic, curved toward the front, that lets the light escape from the top and the bottom. It measures 32 cm wide and 14 cm high, and takes one G9 bulb.

A ceramic wall sconce with soft curves

The rounded volume of the ceramic recalls a seashell or a polished pebble. Its surface gives the sconce a soft, almost tactile look. At 32 cm wide, it occupies the wall gently.

This ceramic wall sconce looks as if it had been shaped by hand. Seen from the front, it has a very pure oval outline.

The absence of any visible metal detail strengthens the impression of an object sculpted in a single piece. It blends into the wall like an architectural element. Simply wipe it regularly with a cloth.

Indirect lighting in two halos

When lit, the sconce projects an arc of light toward the ceiling and a second one toward the floor. They draw a very soft aura around the shell.

The bulb sits behind the ceramic. This indirect lighting creates a restful atmosphere in the evening. The light grazes the wall instead of lighting the room directly.

On a wall painted in a dark color, the contrast with the white ceramic and the warm halo creates a very theatrical effect. At night, this light that caresses the wall is often enough to find your way around.

A white wall sconce that goes with everything

White blends into light walls and gives the impression that the light is born from the wall itself. This white wall sconce suits minimalist interiors, where you want a light fixture that is almost invisible.

Paired with linen, blond wood or a wool rug, it contributes to a natural atmosphere. This Scandinavian sconce warms up a decor with simple lines.

In a modern interior, its curve softens the angles of the furniture. Its organic shape also recalls limewashed walls and handmade earthenware objects. It pairs with light shades as well as deep colors.

Where to install this sconce for a bedroom or living room?

This bedroom sconce is placed on either side of the bed. 2 sconces form a soothing light, perfect for moments of relaxation before sleep. Keep the same mounting height on each side.

In a living room, a pair framing a sofa or a large painting provides a background light. In a dining room, this wall sconce lines up along a long wall and creates a regular rhythm. In a hallway, it guides the way with a quiet glow.
