The Tapered Glass Adjustable Arm Wall Light from Old School Electric combines timeless material simplicity with purposeful, user-focused function. Its clear, flared glass shade — compact at Ø 14cm — celebrates the expressive beauty of a decorative bulb while ensuring a bright, comfortable wash of light. This slender profile gives the fitting a graceful, architectural presence, whether placed beside a bed, illuminating a reading nook or anchoring a stylish workspace.

Designed in the UK by Mark Holloway, the thoughtful addition of an adjustable arm allows light to be positioned precisely where it’s needed. Tilt it towards a favourite armchair for evening reading, or angle it higher to cast a broader ambient glow. Available in switchable (with a discreet switch on the fixture) or unswitchable versions, the fitting offers flexibility across both new and existing wiring plans. It accommodates a standard E27 lamp and is fully dimmable, adapting readily from bright, functional task light to soft evening ambience.

The clear glass shade invites the use of a decorative filament bulb, perfect for enhancing the open, honest materiality of this piece. The metalwork may be specified in any of eight elegant finishes, Antique Brass, Light Antique Brass, Dark Bronze, Satin Brass, Polished Brass, Polished Nickel, Polished Chrome, Matt Black, enabling effortless coordination with existing hardware or for establishing a clean, curated contrast. This elegant wall light is an excellent choice for bedsides, kitchens, studies and hallways.

Used in pairs, it creates pleasing symmetry around a mirror or headboard; in series, it lends gentle rhythm to a gallery wall or corridor. Combine with complementary Tapered Glass Pendants to build continuity throughout a wider lighting scheme.
