Product Insights
The Nopal Brass Asymmetrical Light Fixture, inspired by a Mexico field trip and named after the nopal cactus, is handcrafted in Cowansville, Quebec, blending Mexican design with Canadian craftsmanship. Its raw brass finish is intended to darken into a matte patina over 12 months, restorable with polish, while the frosted opal glass globe diffuses light with >99% haze, eliminating hot spots and producing a soft ambient glow. Priced at $535 CAD—$140 more than the aluminum version—it mounts as a wall sconce or ceiling light, fits G16 or A15 LED bulbs (max 60W), and is made-to-order with a 1–2 week lead time, offering commercial-grade durability and impact resistance, though larger bulbs may contact the glass.
