Sunset lamp or illuminated wall art?

It is called a sunset lamp: a small lamp that projects a disc of orange light onto the wall. It made a simple wish familiar: to find at home, in the evening, the colour of a setting sun. Illuminated wall art answers the same wish, differently.

Two ways to put a sun on the wall

A sunset lamp is a projection lamp: a base, an adjustable head, a coloured filter. Its light crosses the room and draws a halo on the wall facing it. The result therefore depends on the wall: its colour, its distance, its texture.

Illuminated wall art is a framed wall piece whose face is lit from behind. Its gradient is printed on the face: it stays the same whatever the wall, and the light that comes out takes on its colour.

What sets them apart

• By day: switched off, the projection lamp is just a lamp. Switched off, the piece remains an image, a sober gradient on the wall.
• The wall: the projection changes with the colour and distance of the wall. The piece carries its own colour and spreads it around it.
• The place: the lamp is set down and moves from one room to another. The piece is hung once, and dresses the wall for good.
• Adjustment: our pieces are adjusted with the dimmer under the frame in the essential version, or with the remote, the app and voice assistants in the connected version.

For a passing effect, an evening, a photo, the projection lamp is simple and mobile. For a light that is part of the room, illuminated wall art is the right choice.

A projection depends on the wall; a piece brings its own sun.

Which shade for a sunset

Three of our pieces evoke an hour when the sun is low on the horizon.

• N°02 Crépuscule: a red-orange heart ringed with gold, in a peach and rosy field. It is the closest to a sunset.
• N°03 Heure dorée: a wide golden-yellow sun above a brown and midnight-blue horizon, the hour before sunset.
• N°01 Levant: an amber sun at the centre of a deep brown ground. Darker, it evokes dawn rather than evening.

And the colour of the light?

The LEDs in our pieces give off a neutral white, at 4000 K, but this light passes through the gradient that colours it: it is the shade of the piece that gives the light its colour. To keep the evening warm, pair the piece with a lower lamp in a very warm white, such as Ponant or Horizon, at 2700 K. Everything about kelvins in Warm or cool light.

Each piece comes in 55 and 80 cm, in the essential or connected version, from €490.
