Visual Comfort Dessau 24 Bauhaus Picture Light by Sean Lavin – Nightshade Black / Polished Nickel

Dessau 24 Bauhaus Picture Light, designed by Sean Lavin, is made for an art wall, shelving or mantel. It measures 24.1″ long, 8.6″ off the wall (61.2 cm).

Where it works

• Framed art: center the light above the frame.
• Built-in shelving and display niches.
• Mantels, galleries and hospitality lobbies.

Sizing and placement

Choose a light about half to two-thirds the width of the frame, and mount it 2–6" above the top of the artwork.

Choosing a finish

Offered in Nightshade Black, Polished Nickel, Natural Brass, Dark Bronze. Brass and warm metallic finishes bring glow to plaster, wood and warm paint. Nickel, chrome and light finishes keep a room crisp beside stone, glass and cool paint. Black and bronze finishes add contrast against light walls and read as architectural.

Building a cohesive scheme

• Residential: Mount the Dessau 24 Bauhaus Picture Light above art, a mirror or a shelf and keep the finish, the Nightshade Black, Polished Nickel, Natural Brass or Dark Bronze finish, in step with the frame and nearby hardware; one light per piece reads as intentional. Center it over the artwork and match the heights from picture to picture.
• Commercial and hospitality: Specify the Dessau 24 Bauhaus Picture Light in quantity for restaurants, hotel lobbies, offices and showrooms; repeating one fixture and one finish across the space keeps the scheme uniform and simplifies ordering and maintenance.
• Interior and exterior: The Dessau 24 Bauhaus Picture Light is for indoor use; for a continuous scheme, pair it with outdoor-rated pieces in a matching finish at the entry and patio.
• Function and efficiency: LED lighting keeps energy use and heat low, and dimming lets one fixture serve work, dining and evening; confirm the lamping and dimmer on the spec sheet before ordering.
