The story

Tessera, a mosaic of light

In ancient Rome, craftsmen set thousands of small stone cubes, called tesserae, one by one until a whole picture appeared.

Tessera lifts that idea into the air. Softly rounded cubes of natural white alabaster are carried on long, flat straps of braided red cord. Each strap runs from a fixing point on the ceiling or wall, holds a stone cube, and falls away in a natural curve. There is no rigid frame: you decide where each strap is anchored, and gravity draws the line between them. Switch it on and every cube glows from within, revealing its own soft, cloud-like veining.

Choose a compact drape above a bed or console, a wide swag across a wall, or a cluster of up to nine cubes for a dining room, stairwell or double-height hall. Slide the cubes along the straps and place the fixing points where you like. It suits modern organic, Mediterranean, quiet-luxury and gallery-style interiors.

How it works

Flexible by design

The strap is the cable, the cubes slide, and the fixing points go where you choose.

Move it, shape it, make it yours

  • Cubes slide along the strapEach cube can be moved up or down its strap, so you set the height of every light on site.
  • Fixing points go where you wantPlace them close together for a deep, narrow drop, or far apart for a long, shallow swag. The spacing is yours to choose, within the strap length.
  • No wires to hideThe braided strap carries the power itself, so there is no separate cable hanging beside it.
  • Need more reach?For high ceilings or wide walls, we make longer straps on request.

About dimming

The standard Tessera switches on and off only. Dimmable bulbs alone will not make it dim; choose our dimmable version, made on request.

Need longer straps, help with the layout, or the dimmable version?Send us a photo of your ceiling or wall and its height: we will suggest where to place the fixing points, and can make longer straps, the dimmable version or select a particular veining.

Questions, answered

Before you order

Choosing a model

Which model should I choose?

The 3-head Model A (Ø 80 × H 120 cm) is the most compact, lovely above a bed or console. The 5-head (Ø 100 × H 150 cm) suits a dining table or corner. The 9-head (Ø 120 × H 200 cm) suits stairwells and tall rooms. The 2-head and 3-head Model B are wide swags (Ø 203 × H 280 cm) for large walls and high ceilings.

Will it fit my ceiling height?

The listed heights are the full drop. Because the cubes slide along the straps and the fixing points can move, you can shorten or widen the drape on site. For a standard ceiling, the 3-head Model A and 5-head are the easiest fit. Send us your ceiling height and we will advise.

Can I change the shape?

Yes. Slide the cubes along the straps to set their height, and place the fixing points close together for a deep drop or far apart for a long, shallow curve.

Can the straps be made longer?

Yes. For high ceilings, stairwells or wide walls, we make longer straps on request: please contact us with your measurements before ordering.

The stone, the strap and the light

Are the cubes real alabaster?

Yes. Every cube is natural white alabaster, not resin or glass, so its veining is unique.

What is the strap made of?

A flat braided cord that also carries the power, so there is no separate cable. The standard colour is red.

Which bulbs does it use?

G9 or E12 bulbs, one per cube. Warm white LED bulbs of 2700–3000K give the softest glow through the stone.

Is it dimmable?

The standard Tessera is on/off only, and fitting dimmable bulbs will not change that. If you want dimming, choose our dimmable version, made on request: please contact us before ordering.

Installation and care

How is it installed?

Power comes from one point, and each strap is held by its own fixing point. Plan the fixing points before installation; we recommend a qualified electrician. Send us a photo of your space and we will help you plan the layout.

How do I clean it?

Switch off, then dust the cubes and straps with a soft, dry cloth. Keep water away from the stone and the strap.

How soon will my order ship?

Each light 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.

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.
