Visual Comfort Fascio Asymmetric Wall Sconce

Decorative wall sconces often look stunning in a showroom and cause headaches on site — wrong proportions, awkward backplate, or a light source that cannot be dimmed without a fight. Getting the specification right from the start saves the kind of last-minute surprises no project needs.

For a decorative sconce like this, the key decisions centre on placement, ambient light quality, and installation constraints. IP20 means the fitting is rated for dry interior zones only — not directly above a bath or shower, but perfectly suited to a bathroom vanity wall, bedroom, hallway, or living room where moisture is not a risk. The integrated LED module delivers 12W and 1000 lumens, so the light source is built in and not user-replaceable; this is worth confirming with your installer and noting for long-term maintenance planning.

The Visual Comfort Fascio Asymmetric Wall Sconce is a decorative wall light designed by Lauren Rottet as part of Visual Comfort's Signature Collection. Three vertical, fluted crystal tubes are arranged in a deliberately staggered bundle — the Fascio aesthetic — secured at the centre by a fine hexagonal perforated metal band. Light radiates through the crystal and the mesh alike, creating a warm, diffused ambient glow with genuine decorative presence. At 35.6cm tall and 11.4cm wide, it reads as a considered, sculptural piece rather than a background fixture.

The design is available in three hand-applied finishes: Polished Nickel, Hand-Rubbed Antique Brass, and Bronze. Each finish responds differently to its setting — Polished Nickel sits cleanly in contemporary and transitional schemes, Antique Brass works beautifully in warmer, richer interiors, and Bronze brings depth to more layered or industrial-leaning spaces. The square 11.4cm backplate and 10.2cm wall extension are worth checking against your wall surface and any adjacent trim details before finalising.

The fitting uses a dedicated LED module rated at 12W (1000lm) — the light source is integrated, not a standard replaceable lamp. IP rating is IP20 Class I, confirming suitability for dry interior zones. The fixture weighs 3.2kg, so wall fixings should be appropriate for the substrate. No external driver or transformer is required. Dimming compatibility is not confirmed in the available specification data, so we recommend verifying this with your electrician before selecting a dimmer switch.

At Lightsource Studio, we work with Visual Comfort's Signature Collection precisely because it delivers the appearance and character of bespoke design through rigorous material and craft standards — without the lead times of truly custom work. If you are specifying across multiple rooms or finishes, we can help you value-engineer the broader scheme and coordinate delivery to site, so the right products arrive at the right moment in your project timeline.
