This light
Why this one
Five reasons it earns its place
The bulb is the design
There is no shade to hide behind, so what the fitting looks like at night is decided by the bulb you put in it. A clear filament Edison reads warm and old, a frosted globe reads softer.
Bars on the wall
Light passes out through the cage in both directions and prints a pattern of bars on the plaster behind it. That is the effect, not a side effect.
