The round, moon-like lamp is named after Selene—the goddess and embodiment of this quiet, silver guardian of the Earth. Its shade is crafted from Spanish alabaster, an extraordinary material celebrated for its rare ability to transmit light. The resulting glow is soft and delicate, enveloping any interior in a soothing, sensual aura. The Selene alabaster sconce is available in two finishes: warm, golden natural brass, which develops a charming patina over time, or silvery nickel.

Although physically reduced to dust, antiquity has left a rich legacy of inspiration. The combination of noble gold and soft white stone remains essential for classic interiors. At the same time, the alabaster sconce offers a striking, unexpected accent in more contemporary or adventurous spaces, adding a fresh and distinctive touch.

Did you know that…

…alabaster is a compact, translucent, white or slightly coloured mineral that is a fine-grained variety of gypsum? Lampshades made from a single block of stone vary both in colour, which can take on pinkish, slightly beige and often completely white tones, and in texture – some shapes are crossed by dark veins, others remain in a uniform light tone. Each illuminated inside intrigues with a different drawing. The colour of the bulb can accentuate their pure white or give them a very warm honey glow.

Due to the natural properties of alabaster, small more heavily calcified clusters of less transparent grains sometimes appear inside the walls of the lampshade; these are more visible when the lamp is lit, but they are not a defect of the lampshade, merely a natural consequence of the construction of the material from which they are made.
