In our pursuit of the ultimate in home aesthetics, we've discovered that true light is more than just brightness; it's a mood and an emotion. There's a material that possesses the calmness of the earth yet exudes the softness of moonlight—alabaster.
It's neither as cold and hard as metal nor as stark as glass. Each piece of alabaster bears the natural traces of time, filtering and softening light into a warm and tranquil whisper. In our design philosophy, alabaster lamps are more than just lighting tools; they are works of art that connect nature and the home, stone and the soul.
Today, we'll take you inside our workshop and reveal how a simple stone, in the hands of our artisans, is transformed into a light work filled with stories and warmth.
1. Gifts from Nature – A Rigorous Material Selection Journey
Alabaster is named for its translucent texture and natural, snowflake-like veins. However, not all alabaster is chosen for our lamps.
- Respect for uniqueness: We understand that the allure of alabaster lies in its inimitable natural veins—those irregular, flowing gray or brown lines, the traces of time. Our selectors, like collectors, meticulously examine each piece of raw stone, searching for those with clear, harmoniously distributed veins and just the right degree of transparency. Each lamp is destined to be a one-of-a-kind piece.
- Mastering the Breathing of Light: The core value of alabaster is its light transmittance. The stone we select must possess optimal diffusion. This means it shouldn't be too thick, blocking light, nor too thin, appearing fragile. This age-old skill of predicting the light transmittance of natural stone requires years of experience. Every stone we select seems to possess the ability to "breathe" light.
2. The Patience of the Craftsmen – Hand Polishing Infuses Soul
The transformation from a piece of natural stone to a refined lamp relies on the most traditional and time-consuming craft: hand polishing. This is the key step in imbuing our plaster lamps with emotion and warmth.
- Precise Cutting and Sculpting: The craftsmen must cut the stone with extreme precision, breaking down the large block of stone into the desired geometric shapes according to the design. This step must take into account the natural brittleness of plaster. Each cut is accompanied by respect for the grain, ensuring that the finished piece retains a "living" texture rather than being abruptly severed.
- The Core Process: Softening Hands: The craftsmen gradually apply dozens of hand polishes, from coarse to fine grit. They don't polish the stone; they engage in a dialogue with light. The force, speed, and direction of the polishing all determine the microstructure of the stone's surface, which in turn influences the diffuse reflection of light.
