150 cm chain, longer made to order
The Cygnus comes with a 150 cm (59.1″) chain as standard, which suits most rooms. For double-height rooms, stairwells and tall entryways, we can make a longer chain to your measurements.
The story
Cygnus, named after the swan in the stars
On clear summer nights, a great swan flies along the Milky Way. Cygnus, the swan constellation, has guided stargazers for thousands of years.
The Cygnus chandelier brings that swan down to earth, in stone. Dozens of curved feathers of natural alabaster hang in four layered tiers, each one gently bowing outward like the edge of a folded wing. Switch it on and the light passes through every feather, so the whole chandelier glows from within, layer upon layer, with soft, cloud-like veining drifting across each piece.
Hung from an antique bronze chain, the Cygnus is a centrepiece above a dining table, in an entryway, over the bed in a primary bedroom, or in a living room with generous ceilings. It suits French country, old-world European, Mediterranean, modern classic and organic modern interiors alike.
Natural alabaster
No two feathers are the same
Every feather is cut from natural alabaster, so each one carries its own veining and subtle variation in colour. Across dozens of feathers, these differences give the light its soft, living texture, and make your Cygnus truly one of a kind.

Questions, answered
Before you order
The stone
Are the feathers real alabaster?
Yes. Every feather is cut from natural white alabaster, a soft, translucent stone, then shaped and polished into its gentle curve. It is not glass, resin or shell.
Why does each feather look different?
Alabaster forms over thousands of years, so every piece carries its own clouds, veins and tone. Across dozens of feathers, that variation gives the light its soft, living texture. It is a natural feature of real stone, not a defect.
How does the light come through?
The bulbs sit at the heart of the four tiers. Light passes through each translucent feather and through the layers behind it, so the whole chandelier glows from within with no bare bulbs in view.
Size and placement
How big is the Cygnus?
The chandelier body measures Ø 68 cm × H 60 cm (Ø 26.8″ × H 23.6″), not including the chain.
Which dining table does it suit?
A table about 100–140 cm (40–55″) wide. Hang it so the lowest feather sits about 75–90 cm (30–36″) above the tabletop.
How long is the chain?
The Cygnus comes with a 150 cm (59.1″) chain as standard. Longer chains can be made to order for double-height rooms, stairwells and tall entryways: please contact us with your ceiling height before ordering.
Can it be installed on a sloped or vaulted ceiling?
Yes. We can customise the ceiling fitting so the chandelier hangs straight under a pitched or vaulted ceiling. Send us the slope angle and a photo of the space before ordering, and we will confirm the right fitting.
What ceiling height do I need?
Over a table or bed, where no one walks beneath, a 2.4 m (8 ft) ceiling works. Where people walk underneath, allow at least 2.1 m (7 ft) of clearance, so ceilings from about 2.8 m (9 ft) are best.
Light and installation
Which bulbs should I use?
E12 or E14 bulbs, up to 40 W. E12 (candelabra) is standard in the US, Canada and Mexico; E14 in the UK, Europe, Australia and much of Asia. Warm white LED bulbs of 2700–3000K bring out the honeyed glow of the stone and run cool.
Is it dimmable?
The standard Cygnus is on/off only. A dimmable version is available on request: please contact us before ordering.
How is it installed?
It is a hardwired ceiling chandelier. Natural stone is heavy, so it should be installed by a qualified electrician on a ceiling box rated for chandeliers, following local electrical codes.
Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?
No. It is rated IP20 for indoor, dry rooms only.
Care and ordering
How do I clean it?
Switch off and let the bulbs cool, then dust each feather with a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth, supporting the feather with your other hand. Avoid water, sprays and chemical cleaners, as alabaster is porous.
Will it work with the voltage in my country?
Yes. It runs on AC 110–240 V, which covers the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and most other countries.
How soon will my order ship?
Each chandelier is prepared at our factory in 5–10 days, then dispatched to you. You will see the delivery estimate for your country at checkout.

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.
