The Camero is a gypsum wall light a half-circle shape with a sand-texturedwhite finish. Gypsum is an unusual material for a light fitting and it is the reason to choose this one:it reads as part of the wall rather than as an object mounted on it.

A half-circle throws light up and down

The shape is open at top and bottom, so light washes the wall in both directions and the fittingitself stays dark in the middle. That gives a soft double scallop rather than a glare source at eyelevel which is why it suits a hallway or a stairwell where you walk past it at close range.

Sand texture, and what that means in practice

The finish is matte and slightly rough, closer to a rendered wall than to a painted metal fitting.Against white or off-white walls it almost disappears when unlit. It also means a dry cloth is the onlysensible way to clean it liquid cleaners mark gypsum and will not come out.

Where it works

• Hallways and stairwells, at head height where a glare source would be uncomfortable.
• Bedheads, in pairs, as an alternative to bedside lamps.
• Living rooms, washing a feature wall from the middle of its height.
• Rendered and plastered interiors where a metal fitting would look applied.
