Four steps of stone, lit from inside.
The Ziggara Tiered Alabaster Table Lamp by Vidirlighting stacks four discs of natural alabaster on a solid stone column, each one smaller than the last, so the light steps down through the stone in rings of warm glow.
The idea came from the stepped towers of the 1920s: the ziggurat rooflines of Art Deco skyscrapers and the tiered lamps that stood in their lobbies. We carried that shape into stone. Because the alabaster is lit from within by integrated LED, every step reads as a bright ring above the softer face below it.
Set it on an entry console, a bedside table, a sideboard or a desk as a warm accent lamp. The stepped profile suits Art Deco, Hollywood Regency and organic modern rooms, and looks just as good in a plain, minimal one.
The smallest step catches the first ring of light, right at the crown.
Each step sits proud of the one below, so the light reads as a stack of rings.
Wider stone, softer glow: the veining shows more clearly as the discs grow.
The widest step spreads the broadest pool of light across the table.
A solid alabaster column carries the tiers and glows all the way down.
The column and all four discs are turned from natural alabaster, so tone and veining shift from tier to tier and from lamp to lamp. Yours will look slightly different from the photos: a characteristic of real stone, not a defect.
Tell us before you order and we will select the stone to suit, then photograph the actual pieces for your approval before they ship.

Wider than it is tall, so it sits low and spreads light across a surface. Leave about 14″ of clear depth on a console or nightstand.
Integrated LED in warm white 3000K lights the stone from inside, so each step shows as a bright ring above a softer face. No bulbs to buy, nothing to replace.
Not dimmable as standardThe lamp switches on and off at the button. A dimmable version can be built to order.
Ask about dimmableThe lamp is plug-in, with 59″ (150 cm) of cord and a button switch on the line. Need a longer cord? Contact us before you order and we will prepare it before dispatch.
Low, wide and happiest on a surface you pass every day.
Low and wide, so it lights the hall without blocking the mirror above it.
Warm enough to read a page by, calm enough to leave on late.
Somewhere between a lamp and a centrepiece, next to books or ceramics.
Soft light at the edge of a screen, with no glare in your eyes.

Yes. The column and all four discs are turned from blocks of natural alabaster, not resin or glass. That is why the veining only appears once the lamp is switched on, and why the tone shifts slightly from tier to tier.
Closely, but not exactly. Every block of stone has its own colour and movement, so your lamp is its own piece rather than a copy of the sample, and that is what makes it worth having in stone.
Yes. Tell us whether you want it paler and even, greyer, or warmer, and we will choose the stone before we start. We photograph the actual pieces and send them to you for approval before the lamp ships.
It is a solid stone and holds up well on a table, but it is softer than granite or marble. Set it down gently, keep it away from table edges, and it will last for years.
Wipe the stone with a soft, dry cloth. Alabaster is porous, so avoid water, oils and cleaning sprays, which can leave marks in the surface.
No. The LED is integrated inside the lamp in warm white 3000K, so there is nothing to buy and nothing to replace over its life.
Not as standard: the lamp switches on and off at the button on the cord. A dimmable version can be built to order, so contact us before you order and tell us the dimmer or smart plug you plan to use.
A soft, even glow with a brighter ring at every step. It is accent light for a console, bedside or sideboard rather than task light for reading or working.
Warm white keeps alabaster honey-toned. Cooler light makes natural stone look grey and flat, which is why we tune every alabaster piece to 2700–3000K.
59″ (150 cm), with a button switch on the line so you can reach it without moving the lamp. Tell us before you order if you need it longer and we will prepare it.
Ø 11.8″ × H 13.8″ (30 × 35 cm). It is wider than it is tall, so it sits low and spreads light across the surface instead of standing over it.
Yes, as long as the top is about 14″ deep. It leaves room for a book and a glass, and reads as a piece of sculpture beside the bed rather than a tall lamp.
It is rated IP20 for indoor, dry locations only. Keep it away from showers, tubs and steam, which can mark the stone over time.
Each lamp is turned, assembled and inspected at our factory in 5–10 days before it ships. We will confirm the date with you once your order is placed.

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.
