Where Crystal Heritage Meets Contemporary Design
The Matrice Wall Sconce by Saint-Louis is a remarkable fusion of artistic vision, technical innovation, and centuries-old crystal craftsmanship. Designed by Dutch designer Kiki van Eijk, the collection reinterprets the hidden tools of crystal-making, transforming the traditional mold into a sculptural lighting object of exceptional beauty.
Inspired by the historic mold archive of the Saint-Louis manufacture, Matrice celebrates the often-unseen forms that give life to crystal creations. Through intricate hand-cut detailing and a distinctive architectural silhouette, the collection pays tribute to the dialogue between fire, molten crystal, craftsmanship, and modern technology.
The result is a wall light that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in the heritage of one of France’s most prestigious crystal houses.
A Masterpiece of Light and Texture
Crafted from clear crystal, the Matrice wall sconce showcases an extraordinary combination of diamond cuts, bevel cuts, and hand-carved detailing. These precise crystal cuts capture, refract, and amplify light, creating a luminous effect that changes throughout the day and becomes even more dramatic when illuminated.
The polished stainless steel mounting enhances the crystal’s brilliance while adding a sophisticated contemporary edge. Together, the materials create a refined balance between industrial precision and artisanal craftsmanship.
Designed for Luxury Bathrooms and Beyond
Certified IP44, the Matrice wall sconce is protected against water splashes and solid particles larger than 1 mm, making it suitable for installation in bathrooms, dressing rooms, wellness spaces, and other moisture-prone interiors.
