Mali Armed Sconce

The Mali Wall Sconce, designed by Clarence Mallari, has a complex interplay of sleek and earthy elements. The lines that rise above and below the natural woven shade are made of wrought iron in a satin black finish, as are the stem curving into the sconce and the hardware that holds the bulb. These are the clean-lined elements that contrast the Kraft paper twine on the rope sconce, which is tightly woven but not so dense that it interrupts the warm glow of illumination from its interior.
