Caldera Alabaster Block Spiral Chandelier. The Caldera Alabaster Block Spiral Chandelier solves it with one canopy and many cords. Every shade hangs on its own line, cut to its own length, from the same black ceiling plate — so the fixture doesn't sit at one height. It descends. From the hall you see the lowest shades and the rest receding upward. From the landing you are standing among them. From the top you look straight down through the whole spiral at once. A ring of pendants gives every one of those positions the same view; this gives three different ones.

What makes it different from a softer stone fixture is the shape of the shade. These are not rounded domes. Each one is a rectangular block of alabaster — flat faces, square corners, a defined edge where one plane meets the next. That geometry does two things. Lit, each face glows evenly rather than falling off toward a curve, so the shades read as solid blocks of light rather than as glowing balls. And because the faces are flat, the veining reads clearly across them instead of bending around a curve — you can see the whole pattern in one look.

Natural Alabaster

Naturally Unique Veining

No two pieces of stone are ever the same

Alabaster is a natural stone, so every piece carries its own veining and subtle variation in color. The fixture you receive may therefore differ slightly from the images shown.

An inherent characteristic of real stone — not a quality defect.
Made to order

Need More Heads? We'll Build Them.

The versions on this page go up to 11 heads, which suits most rooms. It is not a limit. A cluster is simply more of the same cone on more of the same cord — so if your table is longer or your stairwell taller, tell us the count you want and we'll make it.

Good to Know

Want to dim it? The bulb decides

The fixture itself does not restrict dimming. Brightness adjusts only if you fit a dimmable bulb on a compatible dimmer switch. The bulbs supplied as standard are not dimmable.

Size Guide

How Much Height to Fill

Same block shades, same cords, one canopy in every size. What changes is the width of the ceiling plate and how far the spiral descends. Heights below are the maximum drop as supplied; cords are cut shorter on site to set the stagger.

The design

One Box in the Ceiling. Two Storeys to Fill.

A stairwell has height, and exactly one place to wire.

Stairwell voids are the hardest lighting problem in a house, and it is always the same problem. One junction box, usually right at the top, and eighteen feet of empty air below it. A single pendant leaves the bottom two thirds dark. A wide chandelier looks stranded near the plaster. Most people end up with something too small, hung too high, that nobody looks at twice.

Caldera solves it with one canopy and many cords. Every shade hangs on its own line, cut to its own length, so the fixture does not sit at one height. It descends — a spiral you read differently from the hall, from the landing, and looking down from the top.

What makes it different from a softer stone fixture is the shape of the shade itself.

A rounded shade Light falls off toward the curve. The veining bends away from you.
A block shade Each flat face glows evenly, and holds the whole pattern in one plane.

These are not domes. Each shade is a rectangular block of alabaster — flat faces, square corners, a defined edge where one plane meets the next. Lit, each face glows evenly rather than falling off toward a curve, so the shades read as solid blocks of light rather than as glowing balls. And because the faces are flat, the veining lies across them whole. You see the pattern in one look instead of watching it bend around the back.

Alabaster is quarried, not manufactured, so the stone in every block belongs to one piece of rock. Unlit, they are pale, closed, almost architectural. Lit, the veins surface like ink in water, and no two blocks in a spiral of nine are alike.

The hardware carries the geometry through and then gets out of the way. A threaded brass collar at the top of each shade — the only ornament on the whole piece — on matte black cords and canopy that recede to thin lines against a pale ceiling. Warm metal, cool black, white stone. Nothing else, and nothing that needs explaining.

Questions, Answered

Common Questions

The things people ask before they order.

I only have one ceiling box. Is that enough?
Yes. Every cord runs from one canopy, so a single existing point powers all the lights — up to 11. No second box, no rewiring.
Which size do I need?
3 for a dining table. 5 for a single-flight stairwell. 7–11 for a two-storey void. Send us your ceiling height if unsure.
Is it real stone?
Yes — natural alabaster, not resin or glass. Each block comes from its own piece of rock, so no two match.
Why square shades instead of round?
Flat faces glow evenly and hold the veining in one plane. A curved shade dims toward the edge and bends the pattern out of sight.
Are the lights all at the same height?
No — each cord is a different length, so the shades spiral downward. That's what makes it read from more than one floor.
Can the cords be made longer?
Yes, free of charge — but tell us your ceiling height before we ship. They can be shortened on site, never lengthened.
Gold and black on one fixture — is that right?
Yes, by design. The brass collar is the only ornament; the black cords and canopy recede to thin lines against a pale ceiling.
What bulbs does it take?
E26 or E27 — the ordinary screw base, sold everywhere. Use 2700–3000K warm white, and the same bulb in every socket.
Is it heavy?
Stone weighs more than glass. Have an electrician check the ceiling box before installing, especially on 9 and 11 heads.
How do I clean it in a stairwell?
A soft dry cloth once a year. No water, no sprays — alabaster is porous. High voids may need a pole duster or a lift.
Arrangement

The Same Fixture, Three Ways to Hang It

Every cord shortens on its own during installation — so how the cluster finally looks is set in your room, not in our workshop.

Gathered

Cords kept short and close, the cones within a narrow band. The group reads as one vertical object rather than several separate lights.

→ Over a round table, a stair landing, or a small entry.

Spread

Cords angled outward and set to different lengths, so the cones scatter wider. The same number of shades covers far more ceiling — and more table.

→ Over a long table, an island, or an open-plan room.

Cascade

Each cord a step longer than the last, so the cones fall in a continuous diagonal. Built to be read from more than one floor at once.

→ Down a stairwell or a double-height entry.

The Stone

Want a particular veining?

Every plate is different, so the one that arrives won't match these photographs exactly. That is what real stone does.

If you want it paler and more even, or with more grey movement, or warmer in tone — tell us before you order and we'll select the stone to suit. Send a photo of your room and we'll pick something that sits with it.

What we can't do is copy a picture. We can choose a direction, not reproduce a pattern. Email support@vidirlighting.com

Before You Order

Sloped or Vaulted Ceiling? Talk to Us First

The canopy supplied as standard is made to sit flat against a level ceiling. On a sloped, vaulted or cathedral ceiling it needs a sloped-ceiling adapter so the fixture hangs plumb rather than at an angle — and on a cluster, the cord lengths have to be recalculated as well, since the ceiling is higher at one side than the other.

The quiet glow of alabaster
Vidir lighting / 01

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.

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.
