The Columnar Obra Spherical Alabaster Wall Lamp represents an artistic exercise in restraint, balance, and material contrast. It transforms the inherent weight of stone into visual lightness, infusing contemporary interiors with an architectural quality of gentle light and shadow.

Suspended beneath its structured metal frame rests a sphere of alabaster. Crafted from high-quality natural stone, each sphere possesses a unique organic grain and a translucent beauty all its own. When illuminated, the internal veining of the stone is awakened by the interplay of light and shadow, radiating a soothing, warm, and diffused glow. More than just a light fixture, it serves as a minimalist wall sculpture; its refined form is ideally suited for entryways, corridors, or as an accent light to complement artwork in a living room.

 Natural Alabaster — Natural and Unique Textures
As alabaster is a natural stone, every piece possesses its own unique texture and subtle variations in color. Consequently, the actual product may differ from the images displayed. This is an inherent characteristic of natural stone and does not constitute a quality defect.

Note: If you need to buy two, please buy the size with this (*2) logo, the price of two together is more favorable.

Frequently Asked Questions?

Q1: Is the veining on every lamp identical?

A: No, it is not. Since the alabaster is derived from natural mineral deposits, the veining patterns, color depth, and translucency of each individual stone piece are entirely unique.

Q2: Given the thickness of the stone, won't the light be too dim?

A: Alabaster is renowned for its exceptional light-transmitting properties. Thanks to precise calculations regarding the optimal stone thickness, the fixture displays a soft, milky-white appearance when switched off; when illuminated, the light diffuses through the stone to create a comfortable and ambient glow.

Q3: Can this lamp be installed horizontally?

A: Yes. Regardless of the specific model, it can be installed either vertically or horizontally to best suit the requirements of your space.

Q4: Will this stone change color over time?

A: Genuine natural alabaster is a mineral with highly stable physical properties. Provided it is installed in a dry indoor environment (avoiding direct water exposure, such as in a shower area), it will not yellow or deteriorate with age—unlike inexpensive artificial stone materials. As time passes, the surface of the stone will instead develop a subtle, warm patina that reflects the passage of time.

Installation Process

1.Procedure:

  1. Power Off: Turn off the power supply at the circuit breaker.
  2. Fixing the mounting plate: Fix the universal mounting bracket provided with the light fixture to the base box.
  3. Wiring: Connect the corresponding wires using wire nuts.
  4. Install Fixture Body: Secure the light fixture body to the mounting bracket, ensuring it is level.
  5. Install Shade: Finally—while wearing gloves—install the alabaster shade and tighten the decorative nuts.
  6. Testing: Restore power and test the dimming functionality.

2. Spatial Layout and Height

  • Installation Height: According to general design standards, the center of a wall sconce is typically positioned 60–66 inches above the floor.
  • Spacing: If installed in pairs, a spacing of 28–36 inches is recommended.

3. Environmental Suitability

Moisture Protection: Alabaster possesses a certain degree of water solubility; prolonged exposure to extremely high humidity levels will cause it to lose its natural luster.

  • If installed in a bathroom, it is essential to ensure that the environment does not become excessively damp.
  • Under no circumstances should it be installed inside a shower enclosure or in outdoor areas prone to direct rainfall.

Avoid Air Vents: Refrain from installing the material directly above heating vents, as drastic temperature fluctuations are detrimental to natural stone.

Installation Location Guide 
 Setting Recommended Height (from floor/countertop) Spacing / Notes
Hallway / Living Room 60" – 66" (152–168 cm) Install one fixture every 6–10 feet
Bathroom Mirror Lighting 60" – 65" (152–165 cm) Install on both sides of the mirror, positioned at eye level
Bedroom Bedside 55" – 60" (140–152 cm) Alternatively, position approximately 20"–24" above the mattress
Dining Room / Accent Lighting 60" – 66" (152–168 cm) If the ceiling is high, the mounting height may be adjusted upward accordingly
Stairwell 60" – 66" (152–168 cm) Ensure placement does not obstruct the line of sight while ascending or descending the stairs
1. Lighting Selection Tips — When choosing light fixtures, look beyond aesthetics to consider their functional attributes:
Determine the Direction of Illumination
  • Upward Lighting: Enhances the sense of vertical space in a room; the light is soft and diffused, making it ideal for living rooms with high ceilings.
  • Downward Lighting: Suitable for reading (e.g., bedside lighting) or for highlighting specific objects (such as artwork or entryway cabinets).
  • Omnidirectional Lighting: Suitable for bathrooms or hallways, providing uniform ambient illumination.
The Principle of Proportion
  • Size Selection: The height of a light fixture should generally be approximately one-third of the height of the space in which it is installed.
  • Bathroom Mirrors: If fixtures are mounted on either side of a mirror, their height should ideally fall between 9 and 12 inches, and should not exceed two-thirds of the mirror's height.
2. Installation Guide
  • Avoid "Door-to-Light Collisions": This is an issue that is extremely easy to overlook.
  • Recommendation: Check whether the wall light's intended mounting location falls within the door's swing path. If opening the door would cause it to strike the light fixture, you must either install a door stopper or relocate the light.
  • Safe Mounting Height for Stairwells: When installing wall lights in a stairwell, in addition to considering the mounting height, you must also prioritize ease of maintenance.
  • Recommendation: Avoid mounting the light directly above the stairs at a height you cannot reach. The ideal position is at a height where you can easily reach out to replace the lightbulb while standing on a stair tread.
(When installing multiple wall lights, a spirit level is your best friend. Even a mere 1-centimeter tilt can appear glaringly obvious in a long hallway.)

The quiet glow of alabaster
Vidir lighting / 01

Natural stone lighting

The quiet glow of alabaster

Sculpted by nature, refined for modern spaces. Discover light with a softer point of view.
Hand-finished in stone
The alabaster edit

The Vidir lighting edit

The only shade that glows from inside.

Most shades block light and let it out at the edges. Yet, this stone-textured lampshade manages to achieve exactly that.

01

Translucent properties

Alabaster is translucent. Switch it on and the whole shade lights up from within, veining and all, instead of glowing only where the bulb sits. There is no bright spot to look at, because the light source is the entire surface.

02

Naturally formed

The veining was decided underground, long before anyone cut it. Every shade carries its own pattern and its own faint colour shift — so the piece that arrives is not the piece in the photograph, and that is the point.

03

Durable and long-lasting

Resin and acrylic imitations go amber and brittle within a few years of sitting next to a warm bulb. Stone does not age that way. The shade you unpack is the shade you will have in twenty years.

Designed for better living

Stone Light Fixtures

Natural stone is different from metal or glass. Understanding these points before you buy ensures there won't be any surprises after installation.
01

Light Color Defines the Look

Use warm white (2700K). The stone itself has an off-white, creamy tone; cool light passing through it makes it look grayish and dingy, whereas warm light brings out that honey-like hue seen in the photos.

02

Clean Only with a Dry Cloth

Alabaster is a natural stone that absorbs water and cleaning agents, which can leave permanent stains. Disconnect the power, let the bulb cool down, and then wipe the fixture with a soft, dry cloth—do not use water or spray cleaners.

03

It is heavier than it looks.

The density of the stone is far greater than that of a glass shade of the same size; ensure the ceiling's load-bearing capacity is sufficient for safety.

Natural Alabaster Lamps

Alabaster is translucent, so the light travels through the stone rather than escaping at the edges — the whole shade glows, veining and all. Every piece carries a pattern that was decided underground, which is why no two are alike.

02 / Resin Material
Industrially Replicated Surface

Limitations of resin

Resin is cast in moulds, so the "veining" repeats from one shade to the next and the light passes through evenly with no depth to it. It also ages differently: sitting close to a warm bulb, resin tends to amber and grow brittle within a few years.
