Round stairway wall lamp, 35 to 50 cm, handmade ceramic, with 150 cm cord, in gold or black | Sansoti

A wall lamp that brings the stairwell out of the darkness

A stairwell is often the least well-lit place in the home: no window, a ceiling that is too high for a regular lamp, and a switch you only come across halfway up. This round wall lamp for the stairwell hangs at the height where you need it and casts light onto the steps instead of the ceiling. The 150 cm cord runs visibly down the wall, which looks pleasantly understated on a stairwell wall and means you do not need to chase a cable into the wall.

Why this lamp suits a stairwell wall

• Three sizes: 35, 45 or 50 cm in diameter, so the lamp remains in proportion to the width of your stairwell wall
• 150 cm cord: You decide the mounting height and use an existing connection point; other lengths are available on request
• Handmade ceramic: Lacquered and polished, with wood and metal in the construction; no two pieces are identical
• Push-button switch: Turn it on and off at the lamp itself, convenient if the stair switch is awkwardly positioned
• Soft glow: Maximum 40 W LED, bright enough to walk safely without looking directly into the light
• Gold or black: Two finishes that work with both a white and a dark stairwell wall

Walk safely, even at night

Most household falls happen on the stairs, and poor visibility of the steps is a major contributing factor. Light coming from the side rather than directly from above makes the height difference between the steps easier to see. Weighing approximately 1 kilo, the lamp is light enough for standard wall mounting on plasterboard or masonry. The lamp is not dimmable, so you get the same light intensity every time, which is more of an advantage than a limitation on a staircase.
