Kenway 17 Vertical Line Sconce by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort
Kenway 17 Vertical Line Sconce by Sean Lavin for Visual Comfort
$429.00
/
Kenway 17 is a single, slim line of light that barely leaves the wall.
The Design Story
Sean Lavin pared Kenway back to one vertical stroke.
Inside, a powerful LED turns that line into real light.
Why You'll Love It
It is crisp, unobtrusive and practical.
Made for Real Life
Nothing to relamp: the light source is built in. The brass is a living finish that deepens with age. A soft, dry cloth keeps the metalwork clean. Pair it with an LED-compatible ELV, TRIAC or 0-10V dimmer to go from bright to candle-soft. Mounts with the light facing up or down.
