Overview

The REM wall light by FARO is a wall lamp designed for those seeking a balance between discretion and character. Its slender silhouette takes up no unnecessary visual space, yet it does not go unnoticed. It is a piece that works equally well in a quiet bedroom and in a dining room with a certain decorative personality.

The collection was designed by Alex & Manel Lluscà, with a focus on timeless forms that do not depend on passing trends. The result is a wall light that can fit into a recently renovated interior just as well as one that has been taking shape for years. The old gold finish gives it a warm, restrained texture without falling into ostentation. The beige shade complements that tone without competing with it.

FARO is a Spanish brand with decades of experience in interior and exterior lighting. Its products combine design sensibility with attention to manufacturing detail, and the REM collection is a good example of that philosophy applied to residential and hospitality formats.

Installation and specifications

To install this wall light, it is recommended to have an existing electrical point on the wall, as the lamp requires a fixed electrical connection. Before starting the installation, the power must be switched off at the electrical panel. The fixture is mounted directly onto the wall, so it is advisable to verify that the surface can support the weight of the assembly. If the wall is made of plasterboard or a similar material, it is recommended to use plugs specifically designed for that type of surface. Installation should be carried out by an electrician or a person with basic electrical knowledge.

To clean the metal structure, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products or solvents that could alter the old gold finish. The beige shade can be cleaned with a soft cloth and no chemical products. Do not touch the bulb with bare hands when it is on or has just been switched off. Periodically check that the connections are in good condition.

Design and use

The REM wall light has a steel construction that provides solidity without adding visual weight. The structure is compact, with a depth of 160 mm that allows it to be placed in hallways, next to doors, or in any space where the lamp should not protrude too much. The beige shade filters the light softly, creating an atmosphere without harsh contrasts, suitable for areas where a degree of ambient warmth is desired.

In the bedroom, this wall lamp can be placed on both sides of the bed as reading or ambient lighting. The light it projects is directional but not harsh, making it useful in that type of space where control of intensity matters. In the living room, it can function as a secondary light source that complements central lighting, adding depth to the room without overloading it.

In the dining room, a wall light like this can set the visual tone of the space if placed at a strategic height, near a sideboard or on a side wall. It does not replace the main lamp, but it does add a layer of lighting that changes how the room is perceived at dusk or during a dinner.

The bathroom is another space where this type of wall light makes sense. In a bathroom with neutral tones or matte finishes, the old gold of the structure provides a moderate contrast. If there are other elements in that metallic tone, such as taps or accessories, the overall look gains coherence. In bathrooms where overhead lighting does not reach the mirror well, a side wall lamp resolves that problem elegantly.

In hallways, the REM collection also finds a natural place. Hallways are often overlooked in terms of design, and a well-chosen wall light can transform that passageway into something more considered. Here, the compact scale of the piece is an advantage: it does not interfere with movement or with nearby furniture.

The collection is equally suited to hospitality projects. In hotel rooms, where a balance between functionality and refined aesthetics is sought, this wall light fits with ease. The old gold finish has that dual quality of being recognisable without being showy, which is useful when decorating spaces that must appeal to varied profiles.

The beige shade is an element that deserves attention. It is a colour that is not on trend but does not go out of fashion either: it works with whites, warm greys, light wood, and earthy palettes. In interiors where natural materials predominate, that combination of steel and the neutral shade blends in effortlessly.

Questions and answers

Does the lamp include an E27 bulb or does it need to be purchased separately?

The bulb is not included. The wall light is compatible with an E27 LED bulb, with a maximum wattage of 15 W. You will need to purchase it separately before installing the lamp.

Is the old gold finish on the structure resistant to daily use in a bathroom?

The old gold finish is applied over a steel structure, which provides a solid base. To keep it in good condition, it is advisable to avoid direct exposure to frequent splashes and to clean the surface with a dry cloth. The use of abrasive products or those containing chlorine is not recommended.

How far does the wall light protrude from the wall, and is it suitable for narrow hallways?

The depth of the wall light is 160 mm from the wall. In hallways with a standard width, this is not an issue, as the piece is compact and its profile does not interfere with movement. It is advisable to measure the available space before deciding on the installation height and position.
