From Sketch to Statement: Alastair Alabaster Table Lamp
At Murano Plus, we don’t just curate lighting, we design and create it. The Alastair Alabaster Table Lamp is a clear example of our in-house design process and bespoke product development capabilities, from concept through fabrication.
Developed by our internal design team and produced using time-honoured craftsmanship, Alastair reflects our ability to transform material, light, and form into a refined piece of luxury lighting. It also represents how we collaborate to create custom, design-led lighting solutions.
In-House Design Driven by Material and Light
Every Murano Plus product begins with an understanding of how light behaves in a space. When designing the Alastair alabaster table lamp, our team focused on creating a sculptural form that would enhance alabaster’s natural translucency.
Unlike opaque materials, alabaster diffuses light from within, producing a soft, ambient glow. This characteristic shaped every design decision from proportions and wall thickness to the final silhouette. The result is a lamp that feels architectural yet warm, refined yet organic.
To add versatility and visual depth, the Alastair collection was designed in two distinct yet complementary shapes. Each form can stand alone as a sculptural accent or be paired together to create balance and contrast on larger surfaces.
Custom Development and Natural Alabaster Selection
As with all Murano Plus bespoke lighting projects, material selection is central to the process.
For the Alastair lamps, our team sources high-quality natural alabaster chosen for its translucency, structural integrity, and visual character. Natural variations are embraced, ensuring that every alabaster table lamp is unique.
This same approach carries through our custom and contract work, selecting materials not just for appearance, but for how they perform when illuminated.
Fabricating Handcrafted Alabaster Table Lamps
Once selected, the alabaster is shaped by skilled artisans using a combination of traditional stone-working techniques and precision tools.
This stage requires a careful balance of strength and delicacy. The interior walls are refined to an exact thickness, allowing light to pass through evenly while maintaining durability.
This hands-on fabrication process reflects Murano Plus’s ability to produce small-batch and fully bespoke lighting designs to exact specifications.
Hand-Finished Surfaces and Lighting Integration
After shaping, each alabaster lamp is finished by hand to achieve a smooth, satin-matte surface. This finish enhances the stone’s natural luminosity while maintaining an organic, tactile quality.
Lighting and electrical components are then integrated discreetly within the form, with simple and easy access to the internal fitting carefully considered, so that the bulb itself can be changed at will.
Every lamp is tested to meet modern safety and performance standards, an essential part of our in-house quality control process.
Final Assembly and Quality Assurance
Before leaving our workshop, each Alastair alabaster table lamp undergoes a final inspection.
Our team evaluates structural integrity, finish quality, and lighting performance to ensure every piece meets Murano Plus standards.
Only after passing this review is the lamp prepared for delivery.
A Versatile Lighting Design for Individual or Paired Styling
The Alastair collection was intentionally designed for flexibility.
Each alabaster table lamp works beautifully on its own, ideal for bedside tables, desks, or side tables. When styled together, the two sculptural shapes create a layered, curated composition that adds visual interest and warmth to consoles, credenzas, or hospitality settings.
This modular approach reflects our broader bespoke design capability: creating lighting solutions that adapt to both residential and commercial environments.
