Alabaster globe draped rope chandelier

Albiane, small moons strung in mid-air

Globes of natural alabaster hang along loops of rust-red braided rope, each loop draping from one ceiling point, down through a globe and back up to the next. No rigid frame at all, just stone, rope and warm light.

The light

Every globe, a small moon

Switched on, the stone glows warm from within and the veining shifts from white to soft amber. Switched off, each globe is a pale sphere of natural alabaster with its own pattern of grey veins.

The lit photos show a warm white bulb in the recommended 2700K–3000K range. LED bulbs are recommended; the final tone depends on the bulbs you choose.

The stone

Natural alabaster, never the same twice

Every globe is cut from natural stone, so the veining differs from piece to piece, even within one chandelier.

Polished alabaster spheres with natural veining

Turned into spheres

Alabaster is soft enough to turn into smooth, round globes.

Close-up texture of pale white alabaster with soft veining

Soft, cloudy veining

Grey and amber threads drift through the white stone.

Thin alabaster slabs with amber veining lit from behind

Glows from within

Light passes through the stone and warms its color.

How it's made, from raw stone to a strung globe

01Raw alabaster stone and parts on pallets in a workshop

Selected

Raw alabaster is sorted for clear, even stone.

02Turned alabaster pieces and cylinders in a workshop

Turned

Blocks are turned on a lathe into round globes.

03Craftsman wet-polishing a rounded piece of alabaster

Polished

Each globe is wet-polished until the surface is smooth.

04Gloved hand threading the rust-red braided rope through the cap of an alabaster globe

Strung

The braided rope is threaded through each globe's cap.

Before you choose Albiane

Questions, answered

Sizes 3 · 5 · 7 · 9-Light
Globe Ø 4.7 in (12 cm) alabaster
Bulbs G9 / E12, max 40W each
Mounting Hardwired, several canopies
Rating IP20, indoor dry
Custom Lengths on request
Which size should I choose?

The 3-Light (Ø 31.5 × 47.2 in) and 5-Light (Ø 39.4 × 59.1 in) suit dining tables under 9 to 10 ft ceilings. The 7-Light (Ø 47.2 × 78.7 in) and 9-Light (Ø 55.1 × 78.7 in) drop 78.7 in, so they suit double-height living rooms and stairwells.

Can it hang from my existing ceiling box?

No. Albiane mounts with several separate ceiling canopies and needs multiple fixing points with wiring between them, so it cannot hang from a single ceiling box. It is hardwired; we recommend installation by a licensed electrician.

Can I change how it drapes?

Yes. Set the anchors close for a deep, narrow drop, or spread them wide for a long, shallow swag. Custom rope lengths are available on request.

Are bulbs included, and which should I buy?

Bulbs are not included. Each globe takes a G9 or E12 bulb, up to 40W; LED bulbs are recommended. A 2700K–3000K warm white suits the stone best.

Will the globes look exactly like the photos?

Each globe is cut from natural alabaster, so the veining differs from piece to piece. Size, shape and glow are the same; the pattern in the stone is unique.

Can I use it in a bathroom or outdoors?

No. Albiane is rated IP20 for indoor dry locations only. It runs on 110V–240V.
