Alabast is a small act of devotion to a stone. Jordi Veciana lets alabaster do nearly all the work, so its translucence and veining become the whole character of the lamp.
Carpyen describes a warm, enveloping light that brings out what is particular to each piece, for rooms that want a touch of quiet sophistication.
The Design Story
Veciana designed Alabast for Carpyen in 2016 around a single idea: show the material, and add as little as possible. The body is natural alabaster, set on a steel base, and it comes in three heights, from a compact 11 cm (4.3 in) piece to a 39 cm (15.4 in) column. Because alabaster is quarried stone, no two bodies are veined alike. The light source is an integrated LED, so the stone glows from within rather than being lit by a visible bulb.
About the Designer
Jordi Veciana is a Catalan industrial designer known for a minimalist approach and a search for the essence of each object. After a career in New York working for major international brands, he returned to Barcelona to found his own studio, where he designs lighting and furniture with a timeless, function-first style.
Why You'll Love It
There is something calming about a lamp that looks different every time you glance at it. By day it reads as a pale, softly clouded object; by night the veins deepen and the stone seems to hold the light. The smallest size is easy to move from shelf to console, while the tallest brings real presence to a sideboard. It is an object people lean in to touch.
Where It's Best Placed
Alabast suits a sideboard, a mantel, a bedside table or a console where the stone can be seen up close. Carpyen lists it for outdoor use too, so it can also sit on a sheltered terrace table or a bathroom shelf.
