Phobos 1-Light Large Glass Tube Sconce by Kelly Wearstler for Visual Comfort
$749.00
/
Phobos 1-Light Large holds a glowing glass tube in a precise frame, Kelly Wearstler's geometry in light.
The Design Story
Kelly Wearstler built Phobos from intersecting lines and tubular light.
The etched tube inside clear glass gives a fully diffused glow.
Why You'll Love It
It is slim, sculptural and ADA friendly.
Made for Real Life
Nothing to relamp: the light source is built in. Polish the glass now and then with a soft microfiber cloth. The brass is a living finish that deepens with age. A soft, dry cloth keeps the metalwork clean. Pair it with an LED-compatible ELV, TRIAC or 0-10V dimmer to go from bright to candle-soft. Mounts vertically only.
