ALBA pairs a softly curved translucent alabaster shade with copper metalwork that has been worked rather than merely finished. Linear grooves run the depth of the collar, decorative joints break the transitions, and the ceiling plate carries a pattern of its own - details you notice standing under it, which is where a ceiling light is actually seen from most of the time.
The contrast is the design. Warm copper against pale stone gives the fitting definition in daylight when it is off, which is the harder test for a ceiling light; most disappear into the plaster and are only worth looking at after dark. Lit, the alabaster reveals its veining and tonal variation while the metal reads as a warm outline around the bowl.
Three sizes make it specifiable for a bedroom, a landing or a larger reception room. The bowl shape spreads light broadly rather than pooling it, so it works as a room's main source rather than an accent, and it pairs well with lamps at lower level. Hardwired fitting: installation by a qualified electrician is required, and ceiling fixing should be checked for the weight of the stone.
