Kulma Wall Sconce Large by Visual Comfort & Co

The Kulma Large Wall Sconce by Kelly Wearstler for Visual Comfort Modern is a 55-inch statement wall light — a modern reinterpretation of the traditional lantern in hand-blown glass and metal, designed for commercial lobbies, hotel corridors, and residential feature walls where sculptural presence and artisanal craft command attention. The integrated LED delivers 2700K warm light at 90 CRI. Available in black, copper, or natural brass finishes. The clear or frosted hand-blown glass creates soft, diffused illumination. The result reads as refined lantern first and functional fixture second.

What distinguishes the Kulma Large is the monumental scale and the interplay of hand-blown glass and precision metal hardware. At 55 inches tall, it creates a powerful vertical presence without overwhelming adjacent walls. The hand-blown glass is slightly irregular by design, creating organic character. The metal finish — black (contemporary), natural copper (warm, developing patina), natural brass (refined) — provides refined contrast. The fixture mounts solidly to commercial-grade wall anchors. The 5-year warranty reflects Wearstler's confidence in craft at scale.

This is a fixture for feature walls that demand monumental presence and artisanal materiality.
