Right, cordless wall sconces...a new concept. And brilliant...think we. No more need for costly electricians to track electric cable into walls - this stunning wall sconce can easily go anywhere, and be assembled by probably the world's most inept DIY-er! Total freedom to light your home....your way. Each Genesis Cell has fifteen hours plus of charge and is remote-controlled. Meet the future.

We spend hours messing around with lampshades, trying all sorts of new and wondrous materials to see how they transmit light through them. And in our opinion, there isn't much that beats a humble rattan lampshade for casting a beguiling glow. The light pools warmly beneath but it also sneaks out gently through the little gaps in the weave. Beautiful it is, we thinks.
