YOY Wall Illusion Sconce for Innermost — the most minimal wall light imaginable, with a lampshade drawn in light.
Innermost has closed its doors, which makes these some of the last new pieces available. When a finish is gone, it is gone.
The Design Story
After the YOYLight table lamp, YOY and Innermost asked how little a wall light could be. The answer is a slender arm and a projected shade: the wall itself becomes the lamp.
Why You’ll Love It
In a hallway or beside a bed it gives soft, characterful light without anything sticking out. A row of them reads like a gallery of lamps that are not really there.
Made for Real Life
Plan for an electrician: the driver sits in the wall cavity, so it needs a junction box. A smooth, pale wall shows the shade best. Pairs well with YOY illusion table lamp, Bolt wall light and Bracket wall washer.

Where It Shines
In a row along a hotel corridor, either side of a bed instead of bulky sconces, or up a stairwell.
Questions We Hear Most
Can I line up several YOY wall lights?
Yes, a row of them along a corridor is a striking effect.
Does the YOY wall illusion suit a bedroom?
Yes, as a pair either side of the bed it gives soft light without crowding the nightstands.
Who designed the YOY wall illusion sconce?
The Tokyo studio YOY, for Innermost.
What recognition has the YOY wall illusion received?
New York’s NYCxDesign Awards named it the best lighting sconce of 2016, and it took a Red Dot for product design the following year.
Will YOY be restocked?
No. Innermost has closed, so the finishes you can select above are what remains; when they sell out they will not come back.
When will my YOY illusion wall light leave the warehouse?
In-stock orders usually leave within 2–3 business days.

Why We Love It
Minimal hardware, maximum surprise. Innermost began in London in 1999, when Steve Jones and Russell Cameron left design consultancy to build a lighting brand that mixed English tradition with a punkish, non-conformist streak. Concept, quality and wit were the house rules.
