Wall lighting has evolved astoundingly over the last couple of decades. While classic lamps and sconces are still very much in trend, the innovation in LED lighting offered a liberty to designers to create lighting solutions with technology and innovation at the core. The OG Brick lamp is one such light that effortlessly mingles aesthetic with functionality. The brainchild of Omar Gandhi of Toronto-based Omar Gandhi Architects, in collaboration with Filo Timo and Aaline, the light is born out of the desire to make something that illuminates the wall, while blending in with the fabric of masonry brick walls.
This wall lamp, as the name suggests, integrates into the wall, blending quality craftsmanship and robust nature of metal with the simplicity of the most revered building materials, brick. Thanks to the bronze finish and the color of the protective mesh cover with diffuser that helps the OG Brick to become one with the textured and buff elements of the masonry wall, as if it belongs there. The strong metal body makes it possible to withstand the weight of the real bricks placed on it.
Once the lamp is integrated into the wall, it does what it’s supposed to do; it disappears into the surroundings in daylight. It becomes possible due to the mesh cover that diffuses a warm glow in the nighttime and casts a vanishing effect during the day.
Available in two sizes – single width and double width – its rectangular shape is a characterizing aspect that mimics the traditional form of a brick. Moreover, the shape makes it a versatile option for both indoor and outdoor scenarios. If you want them indoors, the dark or dim lit hallways would be an ideal space for the lamps. However, your patio or garden space would love some accent lighting if you choose to use them outdoors.

But that’s not all; its industrial sentiment makes the lamp adaptable to urban settings including offices, restaurants, and museums. Meanwhile, its durability makes it withstand even the harshest outdoor conditions. Once you know how and where to use it, you can have the intensity of the light adjusted, as it comes with a dimming option, depending on the requirements of the surroundings.
In the realm of design where most of the products pose threat to the environment, the OG Brick lamp is a relatively sustainable choice, as it uses common materials, is low maintenance, and easy to install. Being thoughtful and innovative, it infuses life into an otherwise boring walls and illuminate the traditional work of masonry.
