Volterra Alabaster Cylindrical Suspension

The Volterra Suspension brings the ancient luxury of alabaster into the modern architectural interior. Characterized by its sleek, cylindrical form, each pendant is hollowed from a solid piece of stone to a precise thickness that allows light to permeate the rock. The result is a soft, ethereal glow that highlights the natural veining and "clouds" within the stone, making every lamp a unique, unrepeatable piece of earth-born art.

Individual Veining: No two Volterra cylinders are identical. The natural grey, amber, or white veining of the alabaster creates a "fingerprint" of light for every installation.

Warm "Candlelight" Output: Due to the density of the stone, the LED light source is filtered through the mineral, producing a high-CRI, flicker-free warmth that mimics the soft spectrum of a candle.

Expert Recommendations
The "Zen" Kitchen Island: Hang a linear series of five small Volterra cylinders. The stone's natural texture adds warmth to cold surfaces like marble or quartz countertops.

The Spa-Like Ensuite: Use a single long-form Volterra in a corner over a soaking tub. The stone is naturally moisture-resistant (when sealed) and provides the ultimate "winding down" atmosphere.

Hospitality Grouping: Cluster varying heights of the suspension in a hotel lobby or lounge to create a "forest of light" effect that anchors the vertical space.

Is it real stone or "faux" alabaster? This fixture uses 100% genuine Spanish Alabaster. It has the characteristic weight, cool touch, and variable translucency that resin-based imitations cannot replicate.

Does the color of the stone change over time? Natural alabaster is light-sensitive; however, when used with low-heat LEDs, the stone maintains its pristine color for decades.

How do I clean it? Alabaster is a porous "soft" stone. Clean only with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid water and chemical cleaners, which can dull the natural luster of the mineral.
