There is a confidence to the large Legier wall light that the smaller version, for all its grace, does not quite possess. At this scale the hand blown glass diffuser — in opal white or fumè — occupies the wall with a presence that makes it a genuine feature of the room rather than simply a source of light. This is a fitting that changes the character of the wall it is mounted on, the rounded organic form of the Murano inspired glass bringing a quality of warmth, material depth and considered beauty to the space around it. In a dining room, mounted at a height that brings the warm glow of the glass to the level of the table and the people seated around it, the large Legier wall light creates a quality of ambient illumination that is both practical and thoroughly flattering. In a sitting room it adds a layer of warmth to the wall that changes the feeling of the space entirely after dark. In a hallway or entrance it makes an immediate and generous impression — the scale of the glass communicating a quality of material seriousness that smaller fittings can only suggest. The opal white glass at this scale is luminous and generous — a warm presence in any interior. The fumè glass is more considered and deliberate, its tinted surface reducing and warming the light in a way that suits settings where the lamp itself is intended to be an object of beauty as much as a functional light source. In either case the quality of the hand blown glass — each diffuser carrying the slight variations of form and surface that distinguish genuine craft from manufacture — is fully legible at this size. The sand black metal structure with its choice of light grey or brushed brass ring detail maintains the Legier collection's characteristic material intelligence. The brushed brass ring at this scale has a particular richness.
