Culmo Wall Sconce

The Culmo takes its name from the culm — the bamboo stem that grows between nodes, silent and purposeful. Where others sand the nodes away, we build around them. Each one is a fingerprint of the plant’s growth: where it bent, how it reached, what it became. Culmo is a wall sconce that carries that story in its form. Designed by Bill Parry, co-founder of Rattanology.

Why You'll Love It

• Bamboo node detailing — the natural joints of the bamboo are celebrated, not concealed; each piece its own distinct character
• Downward ambient lighting — a warm, focused glow that pools against the wall and creates quiet atmosphere
• Mid-century modern silhouette — a timeless form that sits equally well in contemporary and classic interiors
• Hardwired installation — clean, cable-free finish for a considered wall presentation
• E12/E14 fitting — compatible with a wide range of decorative bulbs

Perfect For

Bedrooms, hallways, living rooms, and any wall that deserves a piece with genuine material integrity.

The Making

Each Culmo is handcrafted in the Philippines — the bamboo selected for the quality and character of its nodes, shaped and finished by hand. Every node left intact. A deliberate choice that makes each sconce unrepeatable.
