Designed by nature, the Blade wall sconce celebrates the form of leaves and petals in the abundant tropical foliage found in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Xavier Clarisse has translated these classic natural shapes into elegant sculptural pieces. Conceived and handmade in their Durban, South Africa studio, each piece is crafted from quality, locally sourced, vegetable-tanned leather. The sconce features leather that the artist has treated using a specially developed technique to strengthen the material and ensure its durability while the dyes and finishing products are internationally certified and free from harmful substances. The leather is embossed to achieve a sculpted and perforated form using a traditional press and folded to create its leaf-like shape. All hard-wired lighting is UL-listed for dry locations. Not suitable for outdoor use.
