The story

Alveare, a column of honey-warm stone

In the Italian countryside, old beekeepers still weave domed hives from coils of straw, round after round. When the sun catches them, the coils glow gold.

Alveare, the Italian word for beehive, carries that same warmth in stone. Tiers of natural white alabaster are stacked into one glowing column on a black base. Some are carved with fine horizontal ribs, like the coils of an old hive; others are left smooth, so the stone’s cloud-like veining shows through. Switch it on and the ribs break the light into soft, layered bands while the smooth tiers glow the colour of honey.

In an empty living-room corner, beside a sofa or at the end of a hallway, it reads as sculpture by day and gentle ambient light by night. It suits wabi-sabi, organic modern, Mediterranean, Japandi and quiet-luxury interiors.

The light

Two ways stone holds light

Carved tiers

Ribbed

Fine horizontal ribs catch the light at every edge, so it rises through the stone in soft, layered bands.

Polished tiers

Smooth

Left smooth, the stone glows evenly and lets its natural, cloud-like veining take centre stage.

Made your way

A longer cord to reach a distant socket, chosen veining or a dimmable version are available on request.

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

Each tier is carved from natural white alabaster, so its veining and subtle variations in colour are unique. Your lamp may differ slightly from the images shown, which is exactly what makes it one of a kind. Want a particular look? Just contact us.

Questions, answered

Before you order

Choosing your Alveare

Which height should I choose?

Choose by the furniture beside it. The 122 cm (48″) sits just above the back of most sofas and suits armchairs, bedrooms and smaller rooms. The 145 cm (57.1″) makes a taller statement for an empty corner, a high-ceilinged room or the end of a hallway. Both stand on the same Ø 30 cm (11.8″) base.

Is it a reading light?

It is an ambient light. The stone diffuses the light into a soft, warm glow that sets the mood of a room; for reading, pair it with a task lamp.

What is the difference between the ribbed and smooth tiers?

The ribbed tiers are carved with fine horizontal grooves that break the light into soft, layered bands. The smooth tiers glow evenly and show the stone’s natural, cloud-like veining.

The stone

Is it real alabaster?

Yes. Every tier is carved from natural white alabaster, not resin or glass, so its veining and colour are unique.

Will the alabaster yellow over time?

No. In a dry indoor room, natural alabaster stays stable and does not yellow like plastic or resin. Over the years it may develop a soft, warm patina.

Switch, cord and placement

How do I switch it on?

With a round foot switch on the cord: tap it with your foot to turn the lamp on or off.

How long is the cord? Can it be longer?

The cord is 150 cm (59.1″) with a plug. If your socket is further away, we can make it longer on request: please contact us with the distance before ordering.

Do I need an electrician?

No. It is a plug-in floor lamp: place it, plug it in and tap the foot switch.

Is it dimmable?

The standard Alveare is on/off only. A dimmable version is available on request: please contact us before ordering.

Is it stable? Where should I place it?

The column stands on a solid black base with a Ø 30 cm (11.8″) footprint. Place it on a flat, level floor, away from walkways where it could be knocked, and keep it out of bathrooms and damp areas (IP20, dry indoor use only).

Care and delivery

How do I clean the ribbed tiers?

Switch off and unplug. Use a soft, dry brush to clear dust from the grooves, then dust the smooth tiers with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water and chemical cleaners, as alabaster is porous.

How soon will my order ship?

Each lamp is prepared at our factory in 5–10 days, then dispatched to you. Custom options such as a longer cord may add a little time; 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.
