The world of lighting design today is vast. The industry has moved in a direction which is more akin to sculpture and art than just the utility of light. This movement without a doubt has deep roots in the Mid-century Modern design era with companies such as Koch and Lowy. Their expansive portfolio of work is filled with forward thinking modernist design such as this articulating wall mounted reading light.

Koch & Lowy designed with very fine materials and in the case of this swing arm light, their “solid brass” motto comes to light. This reading light has gorgeous patina throughout which indicates rich signs of history without compromising the piece’s overall structure or functionality. The design continues to work as it was originally intended; a mounting plate attaches to a wall of choice and a gentle pull will summon your desired light with ease. The light is also equipped with dimmable lamping controlled via a turn switch. This piece is currently wired for a wall outlet but can easily be converted to hard wiring.
