Objects Of Design #270: Damsel Fly

Ochre’s damsel fly wall light

How pretty is this? Not that long ago it seems it was impossible to find wall lights that weren’t either really old fashioned or looked like they belonged in the pub. How times have changed. These are made from solid brass with a glass drop inserted into them. Now obviously they are for ambience rather than reading but arrange as many as you can afford on a wall, turn the rest of the lights off and the room will be transformed.  The green comes from the wall behind by the way.

There is also a hanging version but it’s less firefly and more installation.
