The Skipper Wireless Wall Light from Tom Raffield sits somewhere between lighting and sculpture, with timber petals that curve and overlap to soften the wall rather than sit flat against it. As a wall light, it keeps things visually quiet, but it still carries enough presence to draw attention once it’s switched on.It’s formed from twelve shaped wooden pieces in an ash, oak or walnut finish, mounted onto an oak bracket that allows the fitting to lift away and be used as a portable light. The bulb is a supplied 1.5W LED and the unit runs on a USB-C rechargeable battery, with a simple rotary dimmer for adjusting brightness without fuss.In practice, it suits rooms where you want lighting that feels flexible rather than fixed. It can stay on the wall or be taken down and used as a table light when needed. Battery life is around 8 hours at full output and longer when dimmed, with a charging time of a few hours. It’s an easy piece to live with, especially in spaces where wiring isn’t ideal.
