Hector Plooi Kleine Wandlamp

I hung this above my reading chair and the light it throws is warm without being harsh. The craftsmanship really shows in the pleated shade, it's sturdier than it looks in photos.

The pleated shade diffuses light so beautifully it turns an ordinary hallway into something almost gallery-like. I catch myself admiring the handcrafted finish every time I walk past — worth every penny.

It's smaller than I pictured, but that turned out to be a good thing—it fits perfectly in our hallway nook and the pleated shade throws such a warm, even glow. You can tell it's handcrafted, too, the finish feels substantial and the detailing is lovely.
