Alabaster lamps: timeless luxury and natural elegance
A warm, atmospheric glow that gives your interior a timeless luxury. That's the magic of alabaster lamps. This particular natural stone combines natural elegance with high-quality finishes, making it an exclusive choice for design lovers. But what makes alabaster so special? Where does it come from? And why is it the perfect choice for sophisticated lighting? Find out in this blog!
What is alabaster stone?
Alabaster is a natural stone type consisting mainly of fine-grained gypsum (gypsum alabaster) or calcite (lime alabaster). This material is known for its soft, almost translucent properties, making it perfect for ambient lighting. Alabaster has been used in art and architecture for thousands of years because of its luxurious appearance and unique grain structure.
What colour is alabaster?
Alabaster has a soft, cream to ivory-white shade with subtle veins and colour nuances in beige, grey or sometimes even gold tones. The colour and texture vary from piece to piece, making each lamp unique. Take a look at our alabaster table lamp Kizo or Nice, for example. This natural pattern adds to the exclusive and elegant look of alabaster lamps.
Where does it come from?
Alabaster is mined worldwide, with major deposits in Spain, Italy, Egypt, Turkey and the United States. The Spanish and Italian varieties are known for their exceptional quality and are often used in high-end designer lighting and art objects.
The origin of alabaster plays a major role in the exclusivity and quality of the material. But what is it that makes alabaster lamps so luxurious?
Luxury and quality
Alabaster lamps exude luxury thanks to their unique patterns and soft tones, making each lamp a work of art in itself. The semi-transparent stone diffuses light in a subtle, warm way, creating an atmospheric ambience. Because alabaster is rare and carefully crafted, it has an exclusive look and high quality. This is reflected, among others, in our beautiful lamps Globe and Kizo L. Moreover, it is timeless and fits effortlessly into both modern and classic interiors, always retaining its elegant charm.
What is the value of the material?
The value of alabaster is determined by its purity, origin and processing. High-quality alabaster, such as that from Spain or Italy, can be quite expensive due to its scarcity and labour-intensive processing. Lighting made of genuine alabaster is therefore considered a premium product. However, its exclusivity and durability make it a worthwhile investment for lovers of luxury interior design.
