- Expect a unique piece - the undulating shade is cut and polished from one block of alabaster, so the curves and veining are specific to it. No two are identical.
- Expect uneven glow - the surface undulates, so the stone glows brighter where it is thinner. That drama is the point of the biomorphic form.
- Pick the finish for the room - brass warm, black graphic, white soft. A warm 2700K bulb suits all three; a dimmer holds it low.
- Hardwire to a ceiling box by a licensed electrician, cut to length on the day.
An undulating alabaster shade
This pendant has a single-cut alabaster shade with an undulating, biomorphic form, polished so the light glows unevenly across its curves for a dramatic effect. The organic shape is cut from one piece of stone, so each is unique, and three finishes set the tone of the fitting.
The flowing form reads as a sculptural object as much as a light.

Cut from a single piece of stone
The undulating shade is cut and polished from one block of alabaster, so the curves and veining are specific to that piece. No two are identical, and the organic form is what gives it a dramatic, sculptural presence.
The curves make the light uneven, on purpose
Because the surface undulates, the stone glows brighter where it is thinner and softer where it is thicker, so the light plays across the shade rather than glowing flat. That drama is the point of the biomorphic form.
Pick the finish for the room
The brass reads warm, the black graphic, the white soft and blended. A warm 2700K bulb suits all three and lets the alabaster glow; a dimmer holds it at a soft level.
Installation
Hardwired to a ceiling box by a licensed electrician, with the 59 inch wire cut to length on the day.
