Ole Lighting Bimba Decorative Wall Light

Decorative wall lighting often falls into one of two traps: it either disappears into a room or it overwhelms it. The harder challenge is finding a piece that holds its own as a visual object — even when the light is off.

Wireframe and open-lattice designs achieve this through structure rather than material bulk. When lit, the spoke geometry projects radial shadow patterns across the wall behind, turning the mounting surface into part of the composition. The E27 fitting — the standard large screw cap used across most decorative lamps — means bulb choice directly shapes the final effect. The original description recommends mirror bulbs specifically to reduce direct glare, which is worth noting at specification stage.

The Ole Lighting Bimba is a Spanish-designed decorative wall light built around a large circular wireframe shade in matte black metal. Two overlapping layers of radiating wire spokes meet at a central cylindrical hub, creating a sunburst-inspired silhouette with a scalloped outer rim that lifts it well beyond a standard flat-edged disc. It functions equally as a wall lamp or ceiling lamp, giving specifiers useful flexibility across different project types.

The Bimba is available in two sizes — Small and Large — allowing it to be scaled to the wall area or used as a paired installation. Cord colour is customisable with 22 metres of cord supplied, and the cord itself becomes a visible design element, with the option to combine two colours for additional character.

The fitting accepts a single E27 LED lamp, which is not included. Given the open design, a decorative or mirror LED bulb is recommended — the bulb will be fully visible and contributes to the overall aesthetic. No driver or transformer is required for E27 lamped fittings connected to a standard mains circuit. Dimming is possible if a compatible leading-edge or trailing-edge dimmer is used with the chosen LED lamp; always confirm lamp-dimmer compatibility before specifying.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we source pieces like the Bimba because they earn their place through considered design and honest materials — not just visual novelty. Whether you are specifying a single statement piece for a residential project or coordinating a lighting scheme across multiple spaces, we can advise on size selection, cord colour combinations, lamp compatibility, and lead times to keep your project moving without surprises.
