Design & Materials
The spiral is doing real work. Because the form curls in on itself, the light source sits inside the coil where you cannot see it from any angle you would ever sit at. What you see instead is the glow escaping from the mouth of the curl and travelling up through the stone — bright and warm where the spiral tightens, fading to a soft pale at the outer edge. One object, lit unevenly on purpose, which is why it reads as sculpture rather than as a lamp with the bulb showing.
Alabaster is a natural stone, so every piece carries its own veining and subtle variation in color. The fixture you receive may therefore differ slightly from the images shown.

Good to Know
How big is it, really?
Small — 7.1″ across and 13.4″ tall. Roughly the height of two coffee mugs stacked. Worth picturing properly before you order, because photographs of a lamp on its own give you no sense of scale.That size is right for a bedside table, a console, a bookshelf or a hallway cabinet. It is not a room light and it will not light a living room. On a wide empty surface a single small piece can look adrift — which is why most people buy two.
Why is one part brighter than the rest?
Because it's meant to be. The light sits inside the coil, so where the spiral tightens the stone is thin and close to the source — bright and amber. Where the curl opens out, the stone is thicker and the glow fades to a soft pale at the rim.A shade lit evenly all over looks like a lamp. A shade lit unevenly looks like an object with light inside it — which is a very different thing to have beside a bed.
Will I see the bulb?
No. The shade curls in on itself, so the light source sits inside the coil with no opening pointed at you. Sitting, standing, or lying in bed — there is nothing to look into from any normal angle. That is the whole reason for the spiral shape, not just a nice side effect of it.
Is there a bulb to replace?
No — the LED is built into the lamp, running at warm white 3000K. Nothing to buy, nothing to match, and nothing to fit into a shape that would be awkward to reach into anyway. If it ever stops working, contact us and we'll advise on parts.
Can I dim it?
Ask us before you order. The LED is built in, so there's no bulb to swap for a dimmable one afterwards — the decision has to be made at the time of order. A dimmable version is available. Beside a bed most people eventually want the light lower, so it's worth deciding now rather than living without the option.
