The story

Fronda, a globe of stone held by brass leaves

In the old villa gardens on the shores of Lake Como, broad-leaved plants brought home from faraway places more than a century ago still grow. On early mornings, a single drop of dew rests at the heart of a leaf, lit by the first light of the day.

Fronda, the Italian word for foliage, casts that quiet moment in brass. Three heart-shaped leaves of cast brass, each pressed with fine, hand-finished veins, cradle a 10 cm globe of natural white alabaster. Switch it on and the stone glows warm from within, revealing soft, cloud-like veining, while the leaves catch the light in a warm, antique-gold sheen.

By day a small sculpture on the wall, by night a gentle pool of light. It suits French country, Art Deco, Mediterranean, botanical, vintage and quiet-luxury interiors.

Why every globe looks a little differentNatural alabaster: unique veining, not a defect
Natural alabaster stone showing its unique veining – Vidirlighting

Each globe is cut from natural white alabaster, so its veining and subtle variations in colour are unique. When you buy a pair, the two globes will be similar but never identical, which is exactly what makes them natural. Want a particular look? Just contact us.

Why solid brassCast, hand-finished and made to last

Every Fronda leaf is cast in brass, not stamped from thin sheet or moulded in plastic. Casting lets the fine veins of each leaf stand out in relief, and every piece is then finished by hand, so the texture catches the light the way a real leaf would.

  • Brass all the way throughNo coating over grey metal: the colour and weight come from the brass itself.
  • Will not rustBrass is a copper alloy, so it does not rust like iron or steel.
  • Sharp, lasting detailCast veins keep their crisp relief for years, with no plating to chip.

Questions, answered

Before you order

Choosing your Fronda

Which style should I choose?

Model A (Bouquet, H 28 cm) makes the boldest statement and suits taller walls and fireplaces. Model B (Corolla, H 20 cm) sits closest to the wall, ideal for narrow walls and powder rooms. Model C (Branch, H 20 cm) reaches out from the wall and looks beautiful from the side, along a hallway or staircase.

How big is it?

All three are 20 cm (7.9″) wide. Model A is 28 cm (11″) tall; Models B and C are 20 cm (7.9″) tall. Every style has the same Ø 10 cm (3.9″) alabaster globe.

Should I buy a pair?

Wall sconces look best in pairs: either side of a bed, a mirror or a fireplace. Select the option marked (*2) to get two of the same model at a better price than buying them separately. Because the globes are natural stone, a pair will be similar but never identical.

Materials and light

Are the leaves really brass, and the globe real alabaster?

Yes. The leaves are cast in solid brass and hand-finished, so they will not rust, and the globe is natural white alabaster, not glass or resin.

Which bulb does it use?

One G9 bulb, up to 40 W. We recommend a warm white G9 LED bulb (2700–3000K): it gives the softest glow through the stone and stays cool.

Is it dimmable?

The standard Fronda is on/off only, and a dimmable bulb alone will not change that. A dimmable version is available on request: please contact us before ordering.

Installation and care

How high should I mount it?

Beside a bed, about 150–165 cm (59–65″) from the floor; beside a mirror, about 160–170 cm (63–67″); in a hallway, about 165–180 cm (65–71″), repeated every 1.8–2.4 m (6–8 ft).

How is it installed?

It mounts to a standard wall junction box. We recommend installation by a qualified electrician, following local electrical codes.

Can I use it in a bathroom?

Only in a dry area away from water, such as a powder room. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor locations; keep it away from showers and baths.

How do I clean it?

Switch off and let it cool. Dust the globe and leaves with a soft, dry cloth or brush. Avoid water and chemical cleaners: alabaster is porous, and harsh cleaners can mark the brass finish.

How soon will my order ship?

Each sconce is prepared at our factory in 5–10 days, then dispatched to you. You will see the delivery estimate for your country at checkout.

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.

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.
