Tom Rossau TR37 Wall Light, White Shade in Black Steel Frame

A white lamella shade framed in black steel on the wall: a sconce with the graphic punch of a drawing.

The TR37 wall light mounts Tom Rossau’s framed white lamella shade on the wall. The black steel frame gives a crisp outline; the PC/PE nonwoven shade gives generous, diffused light. Choose the Short (22.8" tall) for hallways and bedsides or the dramatic Tall (55.9") for stairwells and double-height walls.

About the designer

Tom Rossau grew up in Odsherred, the curving coastal landscape north-west of Copenhagen that has drawn painters for generations, and his first lamps appeared in 2005. Every Tom Rossau lamp is still built by hand in the company’s own workshop on Frederiksberg Allé in Copenhagen, by a single lamp builder who signs the card that comes with it.

Why we carry it

We have been curating design-led lighting since 2009, and the TR37 wall light is a rare sconce that works at architectural scale.

Buy once: durability and care

Dust the PC/PE nonwoven with a soft brush or a low-suction vacuum with a brush head only: no water or cleaning liquids, which can damage its textured surface. The material stays white. Wipe the black steel frame with a dry or barely damp cloth. Tom Rossau covers manufacturing defects for 2 years. Have a licensed electrician install hardwired fixtures.
