Objects of Design #46: Swing Arm Light

I find I am increasingly drawn to wall lights these days and, in particular, to ones like these with a long arm. When I was doing up this house, it was really hard to find interesting and modern wall lights. So many of them looked like they belonged in Granny’s house but designers really seem to have woken up to this now and there are some really great wall lights around.

My kitchen ceiling isn’t high enough for a row of stunning pendant lights but I would love to have a couple of these coming out from the wall and leaning over the dining room table. Or even on either side of the bed.

What do you think?
