Tilt Globe Swivel Wall Light by Nyta

Tilt Globe Swivel Wall Light by Nyta — a matte sphere on the wall that you turn to send the light up, down or sideways.

Designed in Germany, made in Europe.

The Design Story

Nyta began in Germany in 2012, when designer Fabian Maier and architects Johannes Marmon and Johannes Müller set out to make lights that are smart in use and quiet in form. The team still designs almost everything in-house and builds it in Europe, close to its partners. Tilt is the idea that put Nyta on the map: a shade that works as a reflector you can steer by hand. Among the honors Nyta lists are Chicago’s Good Design Award and the German Design Award, both in 2015.

Why You’ll Love It

Most wall lights do one thing; this one changes with a twist of the shade. Point it at the ceiling for a soft wash at night, down for reading, or sideways to graze the wall. The matte aluminium sphere sits on a small stainless steel plate, so it looks neat even when it is off.

Made for Real Life

An electrician wires it into the wall box; after that, it asks for nothing but a dusting. Keep it to dry rooms (IP20). Pair it with the Tilt Globe Adjustable Pendant by Nyta pendant for a matching set.

Where It Shines

Both sides of a bed, a guest room, a hallway, or a quiet reading corner.

Questions We Hear Most

How do I redirect the light from the Tilt Globe Wall?

Just turn the shade: it spins a full 360° on the wall, so the glow can wash up the wall, fall down onto a nightstand or point sideways.

Which bulb fits the Tilt Globe Wall?

An E26 bulb of up to 60 W, bought separately, on standard 120V AC.

Is the Tilt Globe Wall wired in or plug-in?

Wired in. It sits on a stainless steel wall plate over a junction box, so book an electrician for the install.

How much space does the Tilt Globe Wall take on the wall?

It is about 22.9 cm across and 18.8 cm high (9 × 7.4 in) and weighs 0.79 kg (1.75 lb).

Where does the Tilt Globe Wall feel most at home?

Bedrooms first: Nyta designed this short version with bedsides and hotel rooms in mind. It is just as good in a hallway or reading nook. Keep it to dry rooms; it is rated IP20.

Which interiors suit the Tilt Globe Wall? (our styling advice)

Anything from Scandinavian and Japandi to industrial lofts; the matte white shade disappears against a pale wall, the black one reads as a graphic accent.
