Altalena Leather Alabaster Pendant Light

Altalena A swing of light, carved in stone A bar of natural alabaster, cradled by a soft leather strap that loops down from two ceiling canopies. One light, or a cascade of three or five.

Altalena, the Italian word for swing, brings that weightless moment indoors. A long tube of natural alabaster rests in the curve of a leather strap, which drops from two small ceiling canopies and loops gently beneath it. Switch it on and the stone glows from end to end with soft, cloud-like veining, while the relaxed curve of the strap turns a simple linear pendant into a piece of hanging sculpture. Hang one over a dining table, kitchen island or desk, or gather three or five at staggered heights in a stairwell or double-height entrance, their straps overlapping like a row of swings. In light brown or black leather with gold or black metal, the Altalena suits modern organic, Japandi, Scandinavian, Mediterranean and contemporary interiors. Natural alabaster Naturally unique veining Every tube is cut from natural alabaster, so each one carries its own veining and subtle variation in colour. The light you receive may differ slightly from the images shown, which makes your Altalena truly one of a kind. ✓ A natural mark of real stone, not a quality defect Size Find your swing L is the length of the alabaster tube; H is the overall drop from the ceiling.

Yes. Every tube is natural white alabaster, not glass or acrylic. Its veining shows most clearly when the light is on, and varies slightly from piece to piece. What is the strap made of? The strap is leather, in light brown or black, paired with gold or black metal canopies and end caps. Choosing a size What do L and H mean? L is the length of the alabaster tube. H is the overall drop, from the ceiling to the lowest point of the strap. Which length suits my dining table? As a guide, choose a tube about half to two-thirds the length of your table: 67 cm for a table of 120–160 cm, 83 cm for 160–200 cm, and 100 cm for longer tables under a high ceiling. When should I choose a set of 3 or 5? Sets combine different lengths at staggered heights, so the straps overlap in a layered cascade. They are made for stairwells, double-height living rooms, entrance halls and large dining rooms. How high should my ceiling be? Over a table, allow roughly H plus 155 cm: about 2.6 m for the 40 cm size and 3.1 m for the 83 cm size. The 100 cm size (H 200 cm) suits rooms with high ceilings, and the sets of 3 and 5 are made for double-height spaces and stairwells. Light and ordering What kind of light does it give? A warm 3000K glow from a built-in LED, softened by the stone. There are no bulbs to buy or replace. Is it dimmable? The standard Altalena is on/off only. A dimmable version is available on request: please contact us before ordering. Can I use it in a bathroom? No. It is rated IP20 for indoor, dry rooms only. Will it work with the voltage in my country? Yes. It runs on AC 110–240 V, which covers the US, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and most other countries. How do I install it? It is a hardwired ceiling pendant. For safety, we recommend installation by a qualified electrician. How soon will my order ship? Each light is prepared at our factory in 5–10 days, then dispatched to you. You will see the delivery estimate for your country at checkout.
