Alabaster Orbis — Linear Architectural Illumination in Spanish Alabaster
Alabaster Orbis is conceived as a disciplined linear lighting composition developed for interiors where structure, proportion, and material authenticity define the design language. Designed around a strong horizontal axis, the fixture integrates natural Spanish alabaster with a solid copper framework to deliver balanced illumination across dining and entertaining spaces.
At 150 cm in length and supported by a substantial 31 kg structural body, Alabaster Orbis carries the physical authority expected of architectural lighting specified for luxury residential and hospitality environments. Its central balancing hub and fixed horizontal bar establish visual stability while maintaining refined alignment across the full length of the fixture.
Rather than acting as decorative lighting alone, Alabaster Orbis functions as an architectural element that defines horizontal space and reinforces spatial rhythm.
Spanish Alabaster Spheres — Natural Stone as a Luminous Medium
A Material Selected for Depth and Natural Variation
The defining feature of Alabaster Orbis is the use of ten hand-carved Spanish alabaster spheres. Each sphere measures approximately 16 cm in diameter and is individually shaped from natural stone selected for tonal consistency and translucency.
Unlike synthetic materials, alabaster produces layered illumination that emerges gradually through the stone surface. Natural veining and subtle tonal variations allow each sphere to carry its own visual identity, creating a refined lighting experience that evolves throughout the day and evening.
Stone Characteristics
- Ten solid carved Spanish alabaster spheres
- Each sphere measuring 16 cm in diameter
- Honed satin surface preserving natural veining
- Natural variation present in every stone element
- Hand-selected material for visual consistency
- Soft layered diffusion through natural stone
This stone-led approach ensures that illumination feels integrated into the architecture rather than imposed upon it.
Solid Copper Framework — Structural Stability and Precision
Engineered for Long-Term Architectural Performance
The supporting structure of Alabaster Orbis is formed from solid copper, selected for its strength, durability, and dimensional stability. This engineered framework allows each alabaster sphere to remain securely positioned while maintaining precise alignment across the linear span.
A single horizontal bar supported by a central hub establishes a disciplined axial composition. The varied spacing of spheres introduces rhythm and sculptural movement along the fixture, reinforcing its architectural identity.
Structural Characteristics
- Solid copper structural framework
- Single horizontal linear bar configuration
- Central balancing hub supporting axial alignment
- Fixed sphere positions ensuring long-term stability
- Approximate fixture weight of 31 kg
- Hand-assembled structural components
This level of construction supports installation within demanding residential and hospitality environments.
Controlled Linear Illumination — Designed for Dining and Entertaining
Balanced Light Across Horizontal Surfaces
Alabaster Orbis is equipped with ten G9 LED light sources designed to distribute illumination evenly along its length. When dimmed, the alabaster spheres soften the output, creating an ambient atmosphere suited to evening dining and social environments.
Light emitted through natural stone reduces glare while maintaining clarity across table surfaces and surrounding materials.
Lighting Features
- Ten-light configuration
- Compatible with G9 LED lamps
- Recommended wattage of 3W to 5W LED per lamp
- Fully dimmable lighting system
- Warm white and cool white options available
- Tunable lighting capability supported
- Even distribution across the full linear span
This lighting approach supports both functional visibility and refined ambience.
Linear Scale — Designed for Architectural Placement
A Large Linear Statement Fixture
With its 150 cm linear span, Alabaster Orbis is proportioned specifically for installations above defined horizontal surfaces. The fixture performs best when positioned above elements that structure gathering spaces and social environments.
Its scale supports both residential and hospitality applications where spatial clarity and proportion are essential.
Ideal Applications
- Dining tables in private residences
- Kitchen island installations
- Private bar environments
- Boutique restaurant interiors
- Luxury penthouse kitchens
- Yacht dining and hospitality spaces
- Architect-designed entertaining zones
These placements reflect environments where lighting defines both function and atmosphere.
Finishes — Architectural Metals Complementing Natural Stone
Developed to Support Long-Term Material Integrity
The copper framework of Alabaster Orbis is available in architectural finishes selected to complement the tonal warmth of natural alabaster.
Available Finish Options
- Antique Brushed Brass
- Bronze Patina
- Deep Architectural Bronze
Each finish is designed to age gracefully and maintain visual consistency over time.
Suspension System — Adaptable to Architectural Requirements
Adjustable Rod Suspension for Precise Alignment
Alabaster Orbis is suspended using a rod system designed to maintain correct alignment across varying ceiling heights. A minimum drop of 150 cm ensures suitable clearance while allowing custom adjustment for different spatial conditions.
Suspension Details
- Rod suspension system
- Minimum drop of 150 cm
- Adjustable overall suspension length
- Suitable for varied ceiling heights
- Professional installation recommended
This suspension flexibility allows seamless integration into both contemporary and classical interiors.
