Sommaire

Alabaster has been a favourite medium of sculptors and artisans since ancient times. The stone is enjoying a colourful revival in the hands of Alain Ellouz, who is using it to capture and diffuse soothing light. This beautiful and easy-to-fashion material comes in a wide variety of types that are used in all manner of artistic ways. Its polished and nearly transparent surface brings to mind clouds and billowing smoke.

From raw material to work of art

In his workshop in Yvelines, the designer uses alabaster to create mobile lamps with eight hours of continuous battery life that can follow you throughout your day and light your home with elegance. With the slightest touch, the models in the collection diffuse a soft, creamy light that creates a warm, enveloping atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing or hosting a cosy night in. These lamps are also sure to catch everyone’s eye.

The very definition of beautiful simplicity

These lamps can all transform into bedside lamps. Lyra looks like a candy dish, Gama combines two upside-down cones, Mona is a semi-circle with flawless lines, and Athena is a sphere balanced over a cylinder. Featuring brass fittings, they reflect a creative expertise that echoes the style of modern architecture. Get ready to travel the world—all without ever leaving your sofa.
