Overview

The REM wall light by FARO is a wall luminaire designed for those looking for a clean, well-resolved light point without the lamp drawing too much attention to itself. The collection was created by designers Alex and Manel Lluscà, and it shows: there is a clear logic behind every proportion. The body is slender, the beige shade softens the light, and the matte nickel finish does not compete with the rest of the space.

It works well in both private homes and renovation projects, hotel rooms or restaurants. It is a lamp that adapts effortlessly to different settings because its design does not impose a specific style.

FARO is a Spanish brand with a long track record in interior and exterior lighting. Their products combine aesthetic sensibility with quality materials, and the REM collection is a good example of that way of working.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, it is recommended to have an existing electrical point on the surface. Fixing is directly onto the wall, without additional structures. Before starting installation, cut the power supply from the main panel. If you have no experience with electrical installations, the safest option is to have an electrician do it. Check that the wall can support the weight of the wall light, and use the appropriate anchors for the type of surface.

For maintenance, clean the steel body with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could damage the matte nickel finish. The beige shade can be gently wiped with a microfibre cloth. Remember that the lamp does not include a bulb: you will need to purchase an E27 LED bulb separately before switching it on.

Design and use

The REM wall light has a discreet presence that works precisely because of that. It does not try to stand out, but it does not disappear either. On a living room wall, in the hallway, or beside the bed in a bedroom, this lamp does its job well without adding visual noise to the surroundings.

The structure is steel with a matte nickel finish, a material that holds up well over time and requires no special care. Matte nickel has that quality of looking clean without excessive shine, which makes it compatible with light walls, neutral cladding or even textured surfaces. It is not a finish that ages poorly or stands out uncomfortably in an already decorated space.

The beige shade serves a specific purpose: it filters and softens the light emitted by the bulb. The result is warm, diffuse lighting, without hard edges. In a bedroom, that kind of light helps create a more relaxed atmosphere. In a dining room, it adds a warmth that direct lights cannot achieve in the same way.

In the living room, a wall light like this can be used as supporting light next to a sofa or a reading area. It does not need to be the main source of illumination in the space: it works better as a complement, adding layers of light that make the atmosphere more balanced.

In larger bathrooms, a wall light positioned at mirror height can considerably improve functional lighting. Lateral light eliminates the shadows created by ceiling fixtures, and in that context the matte nickel finish works well alongside taps or accessories in similar tones. Also in smaller bathrooms, where space is limited, this lamp takes up no more room than necessary.

In hallways it is often a practical choice. Hallways need light without taking up space, and a wall lamp fulfils that function simply. The contained depth of the REM wall light, 160 mm, makes it suitable even in narrow hallways where a wall light with more projection would be inconvenient.

Compatibility with kitchens depends on the style of the space. In a modern kitchen with metallic or neutral finishes, this wall light can be integrated as ambient or supporting light in a specific area, such as above a bar or a secondary work surface. It is not a lamp designed for intense functional lighting, but in the right kitchen context it adds presence and visual balance.

For interior design projects in restaurants or hotels, the REM collection has what these types of spaces typically look for: a design that does not distract, durable materials and an aesthetic that works well alongside varied proposals. The beige shade in a hotel room provides that sense of warmth that cold surfaces cannot achieve, and the steel structure ensures the wall light maintains its appearance with use.

The timeless design of this lamp means it does not become obsolete with changing trends. It does not belong to a specific style nor does it strive to be modern at all costs: it simply has good proportions and materials that stand on their own.

Questions and answers

Is this wall light compatible with standard E27 screw-cap bulbs available in any shop?

Yes, the wall light uses an E27 lamp holder, the most common type on the market. You can use any LED bulb with that cap, as long as it does not exceed the maximum power of 15 W indicated by the manufacturer.

Can the matte nickel finish on the body be affected by moisture in bathrooms or kitchens?

The matte nickel finish on steel is resistant under normal indoor conditions. In bathrooms with a lot of condensation, it is advisable to ventilate the space well and clean the wall light regularly to keep the finish in good condition.

How far does the wall light protrude from the wall once installed?

The depth of the wall light is 160 mm. That is the space it occupies from the wall outward, which makes it viable even in hallways with limited space.
