About alabaster
Alabaster is a natural stone that has captivated artisans and designers for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians carved it into treasured vessels and ornaments, many of which were discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun, and the Etruscans began a carving tradition in Volterra, Italy, that continues today. What makes alabaster so special is its translucency. Unlike most stones, it allows light to pass through it, so when it’s lit from within it glows with a soft, warm radiance that no other material can quite replicate. That quality was so valued that medieval cathedrals in Italy and Spain used thin panels of alabaster in place of glass windows to bathe their interiors in gentle light. Every piece of alabaster forms naturally over thousands of years, so each shade has its own veining, clouding and subtle variations in tone, and no two lights are ever the same. Alabaster is a soft stone, which lets it be shaped into smooth, graceful forms like the Calla’s tapered cone, but it should be cared for gently: dust it with a soft, dry cloth and keep it away from water and moisture to preserve its natural beauty for years to come.
Why the Calla pairs so well together
A pair of Calla sconces brings instant balance and symmetry to a room, one of the simplest ways to make a space feel calm and intentionally designed. Mounted on either side of a bed, they frame the headboard like a boutique hotel suite and give each side its own soft reading light, while freeing up space on your nightstands. On either side of a mirror, in an entryway or a living room, two Callas draw the eye to the center and make the whole arrangement feel polished and complete. Because each shade is shaped from natural alabaster, your two sconces match in shape and finish while each keeps its own unique veining, so the pair feels curated and personal rather than identical. When both are lit, their warm 3000K glow washes the wall from two directions, softening shadows and creating a layered, inviting light that’s far more flattering than a single overhead fixture. At just 5.1″ wide, a pair stays elegant and understated, adding warmth and quiet luxury without ever overwhelming the space.
Frequently Asked Questions

Contact Us
Does the Calla need a bulb?
No. The Calla has a built-in LED, so there’s no bulb to buy or replace. It gives a warm white 3000K light that brings out the alabaster’s soft, honeyed glow. The integrated LED is energy-efficient at about 7W and is rated to last up to 50,000 hours, which is many years of everyday use.
How is the Calla installed, and can it be dimmed?
The Calla is hardwired to a wall junction box and turns on and off with your existing wall switch, so we recommend having a licensed electrician install it. It’s dimmable when connected to a compatible wall dimmer (not included), so you can soften the light for a calm, relaxing mood in the evening.
Where does the Calla look best?
At 5.1″ wide and 10″ tall, the Calla is compact enough for almost any wall. It’s especially beautiful mounted on either side of a bed as a pair of reading lights, along a hallway or stairway, or framing a mirror in an entryway. When lit, the natural alabaster glows from within and reveals its unique veining, so every Calla is one of a kind. It’s designed for dry, indoor spaces only.
