Flos wall sconces treat a wall as architecture rather than a surface to decorate. The range runs from the paper-thin Foglio to the sculptural Oplight, and every design carries Italian attention to proportion and material. Blown glass, aluminum, brass, and lacquered steel appear across the line. Each sconce reads as an object during the day and delivers controlled light at night.

Mounting height decides whether a sconce works. Pairs flanking a bed or mirror sit best at 60 inches from floor to center, spaced 28 to 36 inches apart. Hallways take one fixture every 8 to 10 feet at 66 inches. Glo-Ball and Mini Glo-Ball suit bedrooms and bathrooms where soft diffusion matters. WireRing plugs straight into an outlet, so renters and retrofits avoid rewiring entirely.

Tobia Scarpa, Jasper Morrison, Michael Anastassiades, Formafantasma, and Patricia Urquiola designed fixtures across this range. Montreal Lighting & Hardware stocks Flos wall sconces with specification support from our team. Free shipping on orders over $199 across Canada.

Buying guide
How to Choose Flos Wall Sconces

Height, spacing, finish, and layering settle most wall sconce projects.

Mounting height
Mount flanking sconces 60 inches from the floor to the center of the fixture. Hallway sconces sit higher at 66 inches. Above a vanity, aim for 75 to 80 inches when the sconce sits beside the mirror.
Spacing between pairs
Pairs flanking a bed or mirror work at 28 to 36 inches apart. In hallways, place one fixture every 8 to 10 feet. Wider spacing leaves dark gaps, tighter spacing washes out the effect.
Match the finish
Flos offers brass, black, white, and anodized aluminum across the range. Match the sconce finish to door hardware and switch plates rather than to the furniture, since hardware reads as permanent.
Layer your lighting
Sconces work as a middle layer between ceiling light and table lamps. Put them on a dimmer and run them at 30 percent for evening ambient light.

Common questions
Flos Wall Sconces FAQ
What height should I mount a Flos wall sconce?
Sixty inches from the floor to the center of the fixture covers most rooms. Hallways work better at 66 inches. Above a bathroom vanity, mount beside the mirror at 75 to 80 inches.
Do Flos wall sconces need hardwiring?
Most models hardwire into a junction box. WireRing plugs into a standard outlet, so that model suits rentals and finished walls with no electrical work.
Are Flos wall sconces dimmable?
Most integrated LED models dim on a compatible dimmer. Check the product page for the specific driver and dimmer compatibility before ordering.
Which Flos sconce works in a bathroom?
Glo-Ball and Mini Glo-Ball suit bathrooms with their diffused output. Confirm the IP rating on the product page matches your zone, and keep the fixture outside the shower splash area unless the rating allows otherwise.
What is the difference between Glo-Ball and Mini Glo-Ball?
Scale. Mini Glo-Ball runs smaller and mounts to a wall or ceiling, which suits tight hallways and bedside positions. The standard Glo-Ball wall model reads larger and anchors a bigger wall.
