Solenne Alabaster Column Floor Lamp. This is a column built from panels of natural alabaster, fitted edge to edge so the seams show — and they should. Each panel is a different piece of quarried rock, which means the honey and amber veining changes as it climbs: dense and caramel in one band, pale and almost translucent in the next, with the faint grey drift that only real stone has. Unlit, it reads as a piece of carved architecture standing in the corner. Lit, the veins surface like ink in water and the whole column becomes the light source — not a bulb behind a shade, but 40-odd inches of glowing stone.
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.

No reaching up into a paper shade, no feeling around a wall for a plate that isn't there. The switch sits on the cord, on the floor, where your foot already is.
Which matters more than it sounds on a lamp like this. A tall paper column has nothing you would want to reach into — and because it plugs in rather than wires in, it usually stands somewhere with no wall switch anywhere near it. One tap with your toe, on your way past.
A round pedal switch you can find without looking down — no small rocker to hunt for in the dark, and no need to bend.
Turn it on carrying a cup, a book, or a laundry basket. Nothing to hold, nothing to put down first.
It plugs into any socket and brings its own switch with it — so it works in a corner no wall switch reaches.
Where to leave the switch. Put it just inside the room from the doorway, or beside the chair you actually sit in — somewhere your foot passes anyway. And run the rest of the cord along the skirting rather than across the floor, so the only thing underfoot is the switch itself. The cord is 59″ with the switch fitted; if you need more reach, tell us when you order rather than adding an extension lead later.
The standard fixture runs on an ordinary wall switch. Because the LED is integrated rather than a replaceable bulb, a dimmable version cannot be retrofitted later — not by changing a bulb, and not by changing the switch. It has to be designed dimmable from the start. Tell us when you order and we will build the dimmable version and confirm which dimmer models work with it.

Stands on a surface, not on the floor. At this height the glow sits at seated eye level, which is exactly where a room wants it in the evening.
Console · sideboard · nightstand · entry table
The in-between one, and the most useful. On the floor it reaches just above a sofa arm — tall enough to read as a floor piece, short enough not to loom beside seating.
Sofa end · bedroom corner · beside a low chair
The full column. Over four feet of lit stone, so it fills a corner top to bottom rather than pooling light at one level. The one to choose where there is no ceiling point at all.
Living room corner · reading chair · entryway · behind a sofa
And the only thing it asks of your room is an outlet.
Every room has a corner the ceiling light gave up on. Behind the reading chair, the far end of a long living room, the dark side of an open plan. You cannot run wiring there without opening a wall, and a table lamp needs a table you do not have.
Solenne was drawn for exactly that corner, and it solves it twice over. It plugs in — no junction box, no electrician, no date in the diary, and it comes with you when you move. And it does not light the corner the way a shaded lamp does.
That is the difference you notice the first evening. A shade puts a bright pool on the floor and leaves the wall behind it in shadow. A column fills the corner instead of spotlighting it — and because the source is four feet of stone rather than a bulb behind fabric, there is nothing to glare at from any angle.
The stone is what you are actually buying. This column is built from separate panels of natural alabaster, fitted edge to edge so the seams show — and they should. Each panel is a different piece of quarried rock, so the veining changes as the column climbs: dense in one band, near-translucent in the next, with the faint drift only real stone has. Unlit, it reads as a piece of carved architecture standing in the corner. Lit, the veins surface like ink in water.
Nothing else has been added. No arm, no shade, no fabric, nothing to dust or knock over. A marble base, a column, and a cord with a switch on it. At night, that turns out to be enough — it does the job a fireplace used to do, which is to put something warm and vertical in the corner and let the rest of the room settle around it.
The things people ask before they order.
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

Natural stone lighting
The Vidir lighting edit
Most shades block light and let it out at the edges. Yet, this stone-textured lampshade manages to achieve exactly that.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.

Our product
Alabaster Cylindrical Chain Chandelier
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.
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.

The natural texture of alabaster brings a warm, mineral quality to the space. (Please contact us if you require a specific texture.)
A pure white texture reminiscent of fresh snow—warm, smooth, and refined.
