Korum Applique redefines contemporary wall sconces by combining sensory exploration, artistry and personalisation. Fluid, minimal design emits soft ambient light, turning every space into a tranquil, poetic environment. Designed to interact organically with its surroundings, the lampshade embodies sensual minimalism and a futuristic aesthetic.
Nurturing, protective light
Modularity is the focal point of Korum Applique’s versatility. Korum can be installed as a single element, in pairs or as multi-coloured compositions with different light orientations depending on requirements. This flexibility allows interior designers to experiment with lighting, creating personalised lighting arrangements that reflect the needs and aesthetics of their clients. Derived from the word corum, which means “shield“, the wall sconces are intended to serve as protective lights, diffusing gentle illumination that fosters emotional and psychological well-being.
Glossy and flip paint finishes mark an evolution in Cini&Nils production
The finishes stand out due to the collection’s glossy and flip paint versions, a new feature compared to standard Cini&Nils finishes. Finishes enhance the three-dimensional character of the design, resulting in a playful dialogue between material and light. The standard colour options include glossy white, matte black, and cool grey. Many other colours are available upon request, including Pink Pantone 237, Light blue Pantone 290, Yellow Pantone 386, Flip paint KF-01, Flip paint KF-09 and Flip paint glossy.
The large wall and ceiling versions are available with a mirror-effect front cover, ideal for small spaces or those looking for a multifunctional and visually striking design element. Its scenic presence makes Korum Applique a lighting sconce that lends personality and style to contemporary environments. Korum’s sculptural forms, innovative finishes and customisable design transcend traditional lighting, turning the wall sconce from a functional lighting fixture to a poetic furnishing element.
Sustainable, circular design
Apart from modularity, sustainability is also one of the key elements of Korum Applique as the wall sconces combine minimal energy use with circular design and a prolonged lifecycle of the product. Made of recyclable aluminium, Korum Applique supports a circular economy approach, while its modular design allows refitting and recycling of components, which simultaneously reduce waste and the carbon footprint. Designed for longevity and adaptability, Korum Applique comes with an included power supply and Insulation Class I. Korum is CE and UKCA-certified, meeting health, safety, and environmental protection standards in the European Union and Great Britain.
Korum Applique’s minimal design and soothing light elevate contemporary interiors while inviting users to reconsider the way they feel about their relationship with light, space, and technology. With its sustainable, recyclable design, Korum Applique proves that contemporary lighting can be environmentally responsible and stylish. Korum Applique, designed by Karim Rashid for Cini&Nils, won the LIT Lighting Design Award in the Wall Sconces category. LIT Lighting Design Awards recognise and celebrate global achievements in lighting product design, architectural lighting designs, and entertainment lighting.
