The Brinshore Wall Sconce started from the shell wind chimes nailed to the posts of old beach house porches, a piece of driftwood with long strings of small white shells tied underneath. When the wind came in off the water, the strands swayed and clicked against the weathered wood behind them. We kept that picture: the old post on the wall, the short branch reaching out from it, and the loose strands of shells hanging below, some short and some long. Lit, the bulb glows from inside the cluster, and the light comes through the thin shells and between the strands.
