Visual Comfort Madden Fluted Linear Sconce

Decorative wall lights that look exceptional in a mood board can disappoint in reality when the material feels synthetic or the light source is visible and harsh. When a sconce is doing real work in a scheme — anchoring a hallway, flanking a headboard, or punctuating a staircase — the quality of the material and how light moves through it matters enormously.

Natural alabaster is one of the few materials that genuinely transforms a light source rather than simply covering it. Its translucency allows warm light to pass through the stone itself, creating a diffused glow rather than a direct beam. The result is soft, ambient illumination with depth — the kind that reads as atmosphere rather than lighting. Because it is a natural stone, every piece carries its own veining and tonal variation; no two are identical.

The Visual Comfort Madden 25" Fluted Linear Sconce is a decorative wall light from the Visual Comfort Signature Collection, designed by Chapman & Myers. The fixture takes the form of a tall, slender alabaster cylinder with precision-carved vertical fluting running its full length, capped at both ends with dark antique brass-toned metal finials. It is rated IP22, meaning it is protected against direct finger contact and light dripping water — suitable for sheltered interior locations. This is a 120V-configured product; electrical compatibility with European supply requires confirmation prior to specification.

The design is defined by restraint. Metal hardware is kept to a minimum, allowing the carved alabaster column to read as the principal element. The vertical fluting catches light across its ridges, adding architectural texture without ornament. Because alabaster is a natural stone, variations in colour and texture between units are inherent and expected — a characteristic that contributes to the bespoke quality the Visual Comfort Signature Collection is built around.

Installation requires a smaller outlet box than a standard fitting — this is a noted specification requirement from the manufacturer and should be confirmed with your electrician before rough-in. The product is rated IP22. As a 120V product, voltage compatibility with local supply (230V in Spain) must be verified or appropriate conversion confirmed. Lamp type and driver requirements should be clarified at point of order.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work through the specification details before they become site problems. That means flagging voltage requirements, outlet box constraints, and material handling notes early — so the product you select performs exactly as the design intends. The Visual Comfort Signature Collection represents considered, design-led manufacturing, and we treat it accordingly: right product, right application, delivered with the coordination your project needs.
