The round wall piece, blown into the densest fir bark we keep.
Douglas Sconce is the round wall piece: glass blown into the densest Douglas-fir bark we keep, knots and branches that force the glass to gather and pool. A thin steel plate and a self-tightening cap hold it to a standard J box. Driverless G9, 120V, dimmable at the wall. The glass does the shading; there is no diffuser and nothing to maintain.
Blown and cast by hand in a natural mould. Dimensions, colour and texture vary from the photographs; no two pieces match, including yours.

Story
The Douglas Sconce is built up from the densest bark we keep, knots and branches that force the glass to gather and pool.
The core stays warm while the branches read cool; the whole piece feels grown rather than made.

The light
A warm low-voltage LED sits where the cast runs thickest. The glass does the shading: thick sections go deep and quiet, thin sections go bright, and the bark's texture decides which is which.
It is house light, not task light. Hang it low over a table or alone in a hallway and let the wall carry the glow. It is happiest at dusk and after.
There is nothing to maintain. Dust it when you think of it.
