The Satire Nickel Swing-Arm Wall Sconce has a minimalist profile and a maximalist work ethic. The thin backplate and stem of the silver wall lamp tick the boxes of minimalism while the fact that it turns from side to side, can be adjusted up and down, and that it has an integrated LED, makes it a great choice for readers. The geometrically sophisticated knobs that allow the stem to move are a design detail of note.
