An adjustable, wall-mounted pendant light is a great solution for small spaces — they keep valuable floor space clear and can easily adapt for multiple uses (and even swing out of the way!). We've rounded up our favorites, in a variety of price points — from Jean Prouvé's classic Potence Lamp to West Elm's Wall-Mounted Pendant Lamp...
High End:
Jean Prouvé's Potence Lamp is the industrial-style classic of the bunch. Licensed through Vitra, and available from hivemodern for $1,562.
BL10 Wall Lamp by Robert Dudley Best for BestLite by GUBI. Available in three colors (black, white, cream) from UnicaHome for $1,299.
Mid-Range:
Falena Wall Lamp by Alvaro Siza is $538 from hivemodern.
Tolomeo Wall Mount Lamp from Artemide is $330 from Design Within Reach.
George Nelson's Wall Sconce is available in a variety of shapes (ball, cigar, saucer & pear) — all for $325 each from Modernica.
Budget:
The Wall-Mounted Pendant Lamp is $129 from West Elm.
Swing Arm Wall Sconce is $89.95 from Crate & Barrel.

I'd never heard the term "swing-arm pendant." Shouldn't a pendant hang, in which case, I'm not sure if this one or several above count. But, here goes. This would be great in a kitchen or over a breakfast nook.

My Flos 265 is extremely versatile. It hinges at the shoulder, well as the elbow.
Mounted high on the wall, I can bring the lamp directly underneath the wall mount, or extend it seven feet from the wall (or anywhere in between).
It's expensive though.

I love the Jean Prouvé's Potence Lamp. That is on my "if I win the lottery" list.
