About the...

Acuo Sconce

It's a 3 sided box, which has been carefully deconstructed to a sculptural state. The careful composition of overlap and void create interest and complexity to a very straightforward, well-functioning wall sconce. The tectonic disconnection in form allows you to witness the solid American black walnut's grain as it travels through each solid block.

Meet the designers

Cerno

Cerno was established in 2009 by three friends in Laguna Beach, and it still designs and builds in California. That is not a provenance detail for its own sake: it is why the walnut on a sconce is matched rather than random, and why a fixture can be serviced years later by the people who made it.

The work is a conversation between warm and cold. Solid walnut against machined aluminium, oiled timber against brushed metal, with the LED integrated into the body so the profiles stay as thin as the drawing. Nothing is hidden behind a shade that did not need to be there. These are fixtures that look like objects in daylight with nothing switched on, which is the real test of a lamp.

Integrated LED is a deliberate choice rather than a cost saving. It is what allows the geometry, and the modules are serviceable rather than disposable, with rated life measured in tens of thousands of hours. Most owners never think about it again.

Almost everything dims, and dimming is where the walnut and brass earn their place, because warm materials hold up at low output in a way cold ones do not. Pair them with a compatible LED dimmer rather than an old incandescent one, which is the usual cause of flicker in an otherwise good installation. The questions below cover LEDs, dimming and the timber.
