An outdoor light shouldn't shout. VENTO whispers.
When we drew VENTO, we kept coming back to one detail of post-war Italian architecture: how the best façade lights weren't fixtures. They were apertures. A narrow opening cut into stucco, a slit of light spilling up and down a stone wall, the building doing the speaking. We wanted that, in a piece you could specify for a porch in Connecticut or a patio in Tucson.
The body curves inward like an hourglass, milled from solid aluminum and treated against salt, sun, and decades of rain. Inside, a recessed LED module washes light up the wall and down toward the entryway. No glare, no exposed bulb, no plastic lens fogging by year three.
Two sizes (8 inches or 16 inches) and three finishes give you room to compose. Single by a doorway, paired across a garage, lined down a long fence.
Engineered for weather, finished by hand
The aluminum housing is anodized for corrosion resistance, then hand-finished in Black & Gold, Platinum, or full Matte Black. The interior reflector is brushed to scatter light evenly across the wall without hotspotting.
Wet-rated (IP65) and sealed. 120V input. Works on a standard wall switch. We chose aluminum over brass because brass corrodes in coastal air, and we wanted VENTO to look the same in year ten as it does in year one.
Built for thresholds
Hardwires into any standard exterior junction box. Sealed gaskets do the rest. Use it on covered porches, exposed façades, garden walls, pool houses, or any interior room that benefits from indirect up-down wash.
Sold individually. Pair it. Or line a wall with four.
