Ego Wall Light by In-es.artdesign

Ego by In-es.artdesign is a backlit Nebulite panel finished with a mirror, so the wall light reflects the room while it glows. It is designed by Oçilunam and made to order in Ariccia, just outside Rome.

The Luna collection began in 2003, when In-es.artdesign perfected Nebulite: a resin-and-fiber composite laid up by hand so that every shade carries the uneven, softly glowing surface of the moon. No two pieces read exactly alike, and that is the point.

The Design Story

In-es.artdesign was founded in 2003 by the Italian artist and designer Oçilunam to bring art and design together in light. The studio works with craft-inspired techniques, balancing light and shadow with pure color and contrasting textures, and makes every piece in Italy under strict quality control. The Ego belongs to the Luna collection.

Why You'll Love It

On the wall, the Ego reads as a piece of art first and a light second, which makes it a natural fit for hallways, bedrooms and living spaces.

The surface is never flat or plastic-looking: the hand-laid fibers in the Nebulite give the glow depth and movement, so the Ego looks different at dusk, at night and in daylight.

Made for Real Life

We supply the Ego with a UL-listed cable for US installation; the bulb is sold separately so you can choose your own color temperature.

Questions We Hear Most

What is the Ego made of?

The Ego is made of mirror, Nebulite (fiberglass). Nebulite is In-es.artdesign's own resin-and-fiber composite, finished by hand in Italy, which is why each shade has its own slightly irregular texture.

Does every Ego look exactly the same?

No. Nebulite is laid up by hand, so each Ego has its own grain and slight variations in the surface. That irregularity is what gives it the look of the moon.

Will the Ego work with US wiring?

Yes. We order every Ego with a UL-listed cable for US installation. The bulb is not included; use the type shown in the specifications.

How long does the Ego take to arrive?

Each Ego is made to order in Italy and ships in 2 to 4 weeks. Because it is made for you, it is a final sale, so take a moment to check size and finish before you order; we are happy to help.

Which size of Ego should I choose?

As a rule of thumb, a pendant over a table should be about half to two thirds of the table's width, and a shade over 70 cm wants a room with generous ceiling height. Tell us your room and we will help you pick.

Why We Love It

We have carried In-es.artdesign for its rare mix of art and function. The Ego is a piece people ask about, and one that still looks fresh years later.
