Elevate Spaces with the Up Down Collection by In Common With
Designed by Brooklyn-based studio In Common With, the Up Down Collection explores classic symmetry, functional versatility, and hand-applied ceramic and metallic artistry in wall sconce illumination. Defined by dual opposing conical or dome shades, the collection casts light simultaneously upward and downward, providing a balanced mix of direct wall lighting and soft ambient ambient glow. Handcrafted using traditional slip-casting and metalworking techniques, each sconce brings architectural structure and tailored elegance to hallways, dining spaces, bedside nooks, and vanity areas.
