Nature's Gift

Every lamp is a singular piece of the earth

Alabaster is a natural mineral formed over thousands of years of geological sedimentation. The veining, hue, and translucency of every panel is unrepeatable. The flowing cloud patterns and delicate mineral fissures are nature's fingerprints—each lamp is not merely a lighting fixture, but an irreplicable work of natural art that belongs to no one else but you.

A Light That Breathes

Healing warmth, never harsh

What makes alabaster captivating is its exceptional ability to glow without revealing the source. It filters out the glare of raw light and transforms it into a warm, soft, and atmospheric ambiance. In an instant, the cold edges of a room dissolve—replaced by a quiet, healing presence that turns any space into a sanctuary.

The Touch of Craftsmanship

Hand-polished, never machine-made

Each raw stone is studied repeatedly by skilled artisans. From coarse to fine grit, it passes through multiple stages of hand-polishing until the surface reveals a matte, silken sheen. Every imperfection is intentional. Every curve is the trace of a craftsman's hand—evidence that this lamp was made, not manufactured.

An Heirloom of Time

Built to age, not to fade

Natural alabaster possesses remarkable durability and physical stability. It will not yellow under light, nor emit chemical odors. Its life force endures the test of time—unfazed by years. As decades pass, a subtle patina forms on the surface, deepening its character and making the stone feel even more grounded and refined.

Description

The Sylvi Linear Alabaster Trough Chandelier is a long, shallow channel of natural alabaster — flat-bottomed, with the sides rising and the ends turning up into soft curves — held from the ceiling by two slim rods rather than a central stem. Two metal bands cross the trough at even intervals, dividing it into three visible sections and making the length readable rather than uniform.

Most linear chandeliers hang from one bar and hide it behind the shade. Here the suspension is the design: two rods dropping to separate ceiling points, with nothing between them. Below, the entire trough glows along its whole length rather than sending light down from a source — so what lands on the table beneath is a continuous band of warmth instead of a row of bright spots. Sitting under it, there is nothing to look into from any angle. Built for surfaces that are longer than they are wide — a rectangular dining table, a kitchen island, a boardroom table, a long console — where a round fixture always leaves the ends dark.

Natural Alabaster

Naturally Unique Veining

No two pieces of stone are ever the same

Alabaster is a natural stone, so every piece carries its own veining and subtle variation in color. The fixture you receive may therefore differ slightly from the images shown.

An inherent characteristic of real stone — not a quality defect.

The design

Nothing Spans Between the Rods

The bar every linear light hides — this one simply doesn't have.

Look closely at almost any long dining light and you will find the same thing: a metal bar running its full length, carrying the wiring and the weight, with a shade hung underneath to hide it. The shade is doing two jobs at once — softening the light, and concealing the structure that holds it up. It has to be deep enough to swallow the bar, which is why so many linear fixtures are bulkier than the light they give.

Two slim rods drop from two separate points on the ceiling, and between them there is only air. Each rod carries its share of the load and its share of the wiring, and because nothing has to be concealed, the stone could be made shallow — a trough rather than a box, flat along the bottom with the sides just rising and the ends turning up.

Shallow is what makes the light behave. A deep shade collects light and lets it out at one opening; a shallow trough spreads it along the whole length of the stone. So what arrives on the table is not two or three bright pools with dim gaps between them, but one continuous band of warmth — the reason a long table under a linear light either works completely or does not work at all.

The two metal bands are the last decision, and the least obvious. Without them the trough would read as one blank strip of glowing stone, and the eye would slide off it. Crossing it at even intervals divides the length into three, giving the proportion something to be measured against — the same reason a long table looks better with three place settings than with an unbroken run of cloth. In brass the bands melt into the warmth and the piece reads as one object; in black they become hard graphic lines against pale stone.

Questions, Answered

Common Questions

How it mounts, which table it suits, and what the light actually does.

Can I hang this where my current light is?

Not directly — and this is the most important thing to know before ordering.

It hangs from two slim rods fixed at two separate points on your ceiling, not one canopy. That means two holes, two fixings, and wiring run between them.

Will it fit my table?

The fixture is 39.4″ long, and the rule for a linear light is half to two-thirds of the table's length.

So it suits a table of roughly 60–79″. Under 55″ it will overhang both ends and start to look like a beam across the room. Over 90″ it will light the middle and leave the ends dim — for a table that long, two fixtures end to end is the usual answer, and we're happy to advise on the gap between them.

One thing it is not for: a round table. A linear light over a circle leaves two arcs unlit and two ends of the stone doing nothing.

Does the whole thing light up, or just parts of it?

The whole length. The stone glows continuously rather than sending light down from a few visible sources.

That is the difference between this and a row of pendants. What lands on the table is one continuous band of warmth instead of two or three bright pools with dim gaps between them — which matters most at the ends of a long table, where a row of pendants usually runs out of light.

How low should it hang?

Over a dining table, 30–36″ from the tabletop to the bottom edge of the stone — lower than instinct suggests, but nobody walks under a table. Over a kitchen island, 30–34″ is better, since you stand rather than sit. Anywhere people walk beneath it, keep 7 ft of clearance above the floor. The fixture's own drop is 23.6″ including the rods; if that leaves it too high for your ceiling, longer rods are supplied on request.

Can I dim it?

Yes, but it has to be specified when you order. (Please contact us if you require a dimmable version.)

Is there a bulb to replace?

No — the LED is built in, running at warm white 3000K. Nothing to source, nothing to match along the length, and no section brighter than another. If it ever stops working, contact us and we'll advise on parts.

Why are there two metal bands across it?

To break the length up. Without them the trough would read as one blank strip of glowing stone and the eye would slide straight off it. Crossing it at even intervals divides the length into three, so the proportion has something to be measured against.

They also change the character of the piece. In brass the bands blend into the warm stone and it reads as one object; in black they become sharp graphic lines against pale alabaster.

Why doesn't my stone match the photographs?

Because it is quarried, not moulded. The veining running the length of your trough will be its own — and lit from inside, on a piece this long, it is the first thing anyone notices.

Sections may also differ slightly in tone from one another. That is real stone doing what real stone does; a piece that matched the photograph exactly would have to be resin.

Will my ceiling hold it?

The weight is spread across two fixing points rather than hanging from one, which helps — but both of them need to be fixed into the structure above rather than plasterboard alone. Have your electrician confirm each point before installation. Ask us for the exact weight and pass it on.

How do I clean it?

A soft dry cloth along the stone. Keep water off it — alabaster is porous, absorbs it, and leaves a mark that won't buff out. The trough is open at the top, so dust settles inside it; a dry brush reaches in more easily than a cloth.

The metal bands and rods can take a barely damp cloth followed by a dry one. Switch off and let it cool first. Once or twice a year is plenty.

Can I put it in a bathroom?

No. It's rated IP20 — indoor dry rooms only, with no protection against water or steam. Alabaster is porous too, so damp is bad for the stone as well as the wiring. Dining rooms, kitchens, offices and hallways are all fine.

What the Table Light Doesn't Reach

A linear fixture lights one surface very well and nothing else. These two take the wall beside it and the corner behind it.

Wall

Alabaster Orb Brass Wall Sconce

Wall mounted · Indoor dry rooms

A round stone orb where the trough is a long line — the same material saying the opposite thing. Along the wall beside a dining table, or in pairs framing a doorway, it lifts the light off one surface and into the room.

Built Right, Inside and Out

The beauty of a fixture is easy to photograph. What matters just as much is what sits inside the canopy—the driver, the bracket, the wiring, the hardware in the box. Here is how we build for safety and longevity, so the fixture you order arrives ready to install and made to last.

Install the driver, bracket and other components - Vidirlighting

01 · The Driver

An LED Driver Built to Last

We offer integrated LED drivers in a range of styles—dimmable, constant-current, and color-temperature-adjustable—so the fixture can be matched to how you actually light the room. It runs on 110–240V, works straight out of the box on standard US household power, and is rated for both dry and damp locations, so it fits wherever you'd like to install it.

02 · The Bracket

A Solid Mounting Bracket

Every fixture ships with a sturdy mounting bracket sized to a standard US junction box—so it hangs true and stays secure, year after year. No improvising, no trips to the hardware store.

03 · The Box

Everything You Need, in One Box

Open the carton and it's all there—canopy, mounting plate and bracket, screws and wall anchors, the driver, and a pair of clean cotton gloves for handling the glass. Nothing missing, nothing to source separately. It's the small stuff, packed with care, that makes installation day feel easy.

04 · The Wiring

Clean, Color-Coded Wiring

Clearly labeled leads and a tidy factory harness make professional installation quick and unambiguous. Hand it to your electrician and they'll have it up in minutes—standard L / N / E hardwiring, the way a considered fixture should be.

Order with confidence: what arrives at your door is a fixture built to be lived with—considered on the inside, finished on the outside. Wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician in line with local code.
