Alabaster Verta – A Contemporary Interpretation of Architectural Alabaster Lighting
Alabaster Verta is a contemporary linear pendant designed to bring architectural clarity and refined material presence to modern interiors. Created as part of the Alabaster Collection, this piece reinterprets natural alabaster through a disciplined, horizontal composition, making it an ideal lighting solution for kitchen islands, dining tables, and open-plan living spaces where proportion and balance are essential.
The design pairs Spanish natural alabaster spheres with an antique brass structure, offering a sophisticated contrast between organic translucency and structured metalwork. Elegant yet restrained, Alabaster Verta is conceived not as decorative excess, but as a sculptural element that integrates seamlessly into high-end architectural environments.
The Timeless Appeal of Natural Alabaster in Modern Interiors
Alabaster has been used in lighting and architecture for centuries, valued for its ability to soften light while revealing subtle natural movement within the stone. In contemporary interiors, alabaster offers a rare balance of warmth, texture, and visual calm.
Spanish Natural Alabaster – Material Integrity and Light Diffusion
Each sphere in Alabaster Verta is crafted from Spanish natural alabaster, selected for its refined veining and consistent translucency. When illuminated, the stone diffuses light gently, producing a warm, atmospheric glow rather than harsh brightness. No two alabaster elements are identical, ensuring every fixture carries a unique material signature that elevates it beyond mass-produced lighting.
Sculptural Linear Design for Kitchen Islands and Dining Tables
Designed with precision and restraint, Alabaster Verta features thirteen alabaster globes arranged along a horizontal brass bar. This linear rhythm creates a sense of visual continuity, making the piece especially effective above elongated surfaces.
Designed for Balance, Proportion, and Visual Rhythm
The measured spacing and scale of the globes allow the pendant to provide visual presence without overwhelming the space. Over a kitchen island or dining table, the fixture defines the area below while maintaining openness within the room, supporting both functional illumination and architectural flow.
Adjustable Suspension and Custom Length Options
With a standard length of 124 cm (49") and a body height of 36 cm (14"), Alabaster Verta is suspended via adjustable brass rods, allowing precise height control. The design is fully customisable, with bespoke lengths and configurations available to suit individual layouts, ceiling heights, and project requirements.
Lighting Performance and Technical Refinement
Alabaster Verta is equipped with 13 G9 light points, delivering balanced illumination suitable for both task and ambient lighting. The fixture is dimmable, allowing users to adjust the atmosphere from functional brightness to a softer, more intimate glow. Operating on 90–260V, it is compatible with international electrical standards and certified to CE, UKCA, UL, and CSA, ensuring reliability for residential and commercial applications.
A Made-to-Order Piece for Contemporary Luxury Projects
Each Alabaster Verta pendant is handcrafted and made to order, reflecting a commitment to material quality and controlled production rather than volume manufacturing. With a 6–8 week lead time, worldwide insured shipping, and careful finishing, the piece is intended for considered interiors where longevity and design integrity matter.
