Pendant Lamp
The piece
Spanish Alabaster · Hand-Cut Soft-Square Form · Brass Cap · Compact Pendant
A small pendant light composed of a hand-cut Spanish alabaster shade in a soft-square cylindrical form, suspended from a turned brass cap and cord. The rounded-corner geometry feels architectural rather than fully cylindrical — more presence than a simple drum, less weight than a full cube.
When lit, the alabaster glows from within and reveals each shade's natural veining and warm mineral coloration. Suited to kitchen islands, breakfast bars, dining tables, bedside accents, double-height stairwells, and grand foyers — particularly powerful in clusters scaled to long counters or vaulted ceilings.
Features
Genuine Spanish Alabaster
Hand-cut from Aragón-sourced stone — the historically prized origin for translucent natural lighting.
Soft-Square Geometry
Rounded-corner cylinder reads more architectural than a plain drum — quiet but distinctive.
Multi-Head & Custom Sizing
Single-pendant standard · Multi-head clusters and custom sizes available — scale to your space.
Hardware Finish — Choose at Checkout
Brass
Warm polished brass cap and canopy — pairs naturally with the cream tones of the alabaster. Suits traditional, transitional, and warm-modern interiors.
White
Powder-coated white cap and canopy — recedes against light ceilings, lets the alabaster shade take complete visual lead. Minimal and contemporary.
Each piece is unique. Because the shade is hand-cut from natural Spanish alabaster, the pattern of veining, color intensity, and grain direction varies between pendants. That singularity is the point of the material — your piece will share the same overall character as the photographs but the specific markings will be one-of-a-kind.
Multi-head and custom sizes available. The standard listing shows the single-pendant version. Multi-head cluster configurations and custom shade sizes can be built to scale — particularly suited to long kitchen islands, double-height stairwells, dining halls, and grand foyers. Contact our support team with your space dimensions and we'll quote a custom build.

FAQ
Where does the alabaster come from? +
All alabaster is sourced from Spain — specifically the Aragón region, which has supplied the world's most prized translucent alabaster since the 16th century. Each shade is hand-cut from a solid block.
Will my piece look exactly like the photo? +
No — every shade is hand-cut from natural stone, so the pattern of veining, color intensity, and grain direction varies between pieces. Yours will share the same overall character as the photographs but the specific markings will be one-of-a-kind.
What bulb does it take? +
One E26 (North America) or E27 (EU/UK/AU) standard-base bulb up to 25W. We recommend a warm white (3000K) LED for the most flattering glow through the alabaster — higher wattages can over-illuminate and flatten the veining.
Can I order a multi-head cluster or custom size? +
Yes — beyond the single-pendant standard listing, we build multi-head cluster configurations (3, 5, 7+ pendants on a shared canopy) and custom shade sizes on request. These are particularly suited to long kitchen islands, banquette dining tables, grand foyers, and double-height stairwells. Contact our support team with your ceiling height, the area you want to light, and any reference images — we'll quote a custom build to match your space.
Can I cluster multiple single pendants? +
Yes — at this compact 17 cm size, the pendant works beautifully when ordered as multiples and hung in a grouped arrangement. Each unit ships with its own canopy and 78.7" cord, so you can space them as you wish. For coordinated looks, contact us before ordering and we'll select stones with similar character. Or order a true shared-canopy cluster (see above).
Will it work above a stairwell or in a tall foyer? +
Yes — for double-height stairwells, vaulted foyers, or rooms with 12 ft+ ceilings, we recommend either a custom-sized larger shade or a multi-head cluster build (the standard 17 cm shade may read small on its own at that scale). Contact us with photos and ceiling height for a tailored recommendation — alabaster pendants are one of our most-customized product categories for grand-scale residential and hospitality installations.
Can the cord length be adjusted? +
Yes — the standard 78.7" (200 cm) cord can be shortened during installation. For longer drops — vaulted ceilings, double-height stairwells — contact us before ordering for a custom cord length.
Can I install it in a bathroom? +
Yes — well-suited to bathroom ceilings, particularly above a vanity. Because alabaster is naturally porous, install away from direct shower spray or steam concentration. Standard ventilation and normal bathroom humidity are not a concern.
Care & delivery
Looking after it
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.
Who makes it
This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.
We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.
Delivery
Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.
Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.
Returns
You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.
Damaged or faulty on arrival
Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.
Installation
Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.

Alabaster
