The story

Asta, rods of stone caught in mid-air

Remember the game of pick-up sticks? A handful of slender sticks tossed onto the table, landing in a lively criss-cross, each at its own angle.

Asta, the Italian word for a rod, freezes that moment in light. Long, slender rods of natural white alabaster, capped and jointed with brass, hang on fine cables from a single round canopy. Each rod floats at its own angle, so together they form a light, sculptural composition that changes as you walk around it. Switch it on and the alabaster glows warm along its length, while the brass caps catch the light: soft natural stone and warm metal, in quiet contrast.

Choose from 2 to 6 rods. The Asta suits modern organic, wabi-sabi, minimalist, Japandi and quiet-luxury interiors.

Materials

Stone and brass, a quiet contrast

  • White alabaster

    Translucent and soft, it carries the light along the whole rod and reveals gentle, cloud-like veining when lit.

  • Brass caps

    Solid brass end caps and a centre collar frame the glow, catch the light and give each rod a crisp, tailored finish.

Animation: the cables lengthen to lower the rod for a taller ceiling, and the glow dims up and down as on the dimmable version

Questions, answered

Before you order

Choosing your Asta

How many rods should I choose?

All models share the same Ø 60 × H 150 cm (Ø 23.6″ × H 59.1″) outline, so the choice is about density and drama. 2 rods give a calm, linear accent; 3 or 4 a balanced composition for a dining table or living room; 5 or 6 a full sculptural cluster for a stairwell, entrance hall or double-height space.

Will Ø 60 cm suit my dining table?

A common rule is a chandelier about half to two-thirds the width of the table. At Ø 60 cm, the Asta suits round or square tables of about 90–120 cm (35–47″), or the centre of a longer table.

How high does my ceiling need to be?

The overall height is up to 150 cm (59.1″), set by the 150 cm cables. Over a table, aim for the lowest rod about 75–90 cm (30–36″) above the surface; where people walk below, keep at least 2.1 m (7 ft) of clearance. For tall or double-height ceilings, longer cables are available on request.

The materials

Is the alabaster real? What are the caps made of?

Yes. The rods are natural white alabaster, so their veining and tone are unique to every piece. The end caps and centre collars are brass.

Why alabaster and brass together?

Alabaster is translucent, so it carries light along the rod and glows warm. Brass is solid and reflective, so the caps frame the glow and add a refined, tailored accent.

Will the alabaster yellow over time?

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

Light and installation

Is it dimmable?

The standard Asta switches on and off only, and dimmable bulbs alone will not change that. For dimming, choose our dimmable version, made on request: please contact us before ordering.

How is it installed?

All rods hang from a single round ceiling canopy, so only one electrical connection is needed. It should be installed by a qualified electrician on a ceiling box rated for the weight of the stone, following local electrical codes.

Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?

No. It is rated IP20 for dry indoor locations only. Alabaster is slightly water-soluble and loses its lustre in damp conditions.

Care and delivery

How do I clean it?

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

How soon will my order ship?

Each chandelier is prepared at our factory in 5–10 days, then dispatched to you. Custom options such as longer cables 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.
