Willow is a Nordic plug-in wall sconce built on a solid wooden base with a warm white shade: two materials, and no hardware on show anywhere. The fixings are concealed behind the base, which is a small manufacturing decision that changes how the whole fitting reads from across a room. Nothing anywhere on it announces the fact that it was screwed onto a wall by somebody.
A white shade on its own can read as clinical, particularly in a bedroom with pale walls. Set on wood, with the grain still visible under the finish, it becomes something considerably calmer, and that is the whole basis of Scandinavian interiors: simple shapes, natural materials, and nothing shouting for attention. The base is solid rather than veneered, so it has some weight to it in the hand, and the white of the shade is warm rather than cold, which matters more than any other single decision here.
It plugs into a standard wall socket, so no electrician is needed at any stage and nothing at all is left behind when it comes down again. Each piece is made to order rather than held in stock, so allow a little extra lead time when planning the installation date.
