RBW Mori Sconce

The RBW Mori Sconce uses this weird but cool resilient webbed TPU material over a wire frame that honestly looks nothing like regular wall lighting. First time you see it, you might think it's some kind of textile or mesh, but it's actually this tough synthetic stuff that won't fall apart like fabric shades do. The wire underneath shows through when it's lit up, creating these neat geometric shadows that shift around. It's one of those pieces where you notice something new about it every time you walk past - sometimes the pattern looks more prominent, other times it blends into the background.

Getting 397 lumens out of just 9W is pretty efficient for what you're actually using it for - nobody needs a sconce blasting 1000 lumens in a hallway. The damp rating is handy because you can stick it in a bathroom without worrying about steam damage, which rules out most interesting wall fixtures. ADA compliance is useful if you're doing any commercial work, and honestly, the 50,000-hour thing means you'll probably move house before needing to think about replacement. That matte lacquer keeps the TPU from looking cheap over time, which is always a concern with synthetic materials.

RBW clearly likes playing around with stuff other manufacturers avoid - probably because it's harder to work with or source. But that's what makes their fixtures interesting instead of just being another version of the same basic designs everyone else offers. They seem to focus on solving actual problems (like durability and weird installation requirements) while making things that don't look like hospital lighting. It's refreshing when companies actually innovate instead of just reshuffling existing ideas.
