The Steamlight Sconce is an elevated spin on an average object. The functional design allows you to adjust the amount of light by opening and closing the steamer shade. We put as much care into the design of the light created by our fixtures as we do the fixtures themselves. Each night light is made by hand, and the skilled craftsmanship results in a truly one-of-a-kind, unique lighting fixture.
Our Story:
It all started with a birthday present I made for my wife, a bedside light from a vegetable steamer. We were amazed by how good of a lamp it was, being able to open and close and also, because the bulb is off center I allowed it to be rotated so that the light could be aimed at a 360 degrees circle. Plus it created amazing light textures around it and projected them all over the room at night. She could aim it right at her book and let me sleep in the dark.
After that we decided to take it seriously and work on designing it as a lighting product. We sought and found the perfect steamer for the job, and made this hard wired model so it can be installed on a wall junction box. We developed a tilt that's connected to its rotation so the light beam can be aimed in any direction, developed a reflector and a small handle to help with opening and closing, and gave it a long life energy efficient xenon bulb that gives a warm light color tone. We even filed a patent on the three dimensional light control aperture shade and designed the packaging.
We offer this lamp in a brushed finish
