The Nocturne Lighting Collection

Five fixtures designed to be looked at rather than to illuminate — and to be dimmed almost to nothing.

Alabaster · Bronze · Aged brass · Hand-blown glass
IThe Origin

Every piece in Nocturne was designed to work at four percent output. Most decorative lighting collapses below twenty; ours was engineered downward from the start.

The alabaster is quarried in Volterra and cut to twelve millimetres — thin enough to transmit, thick enough to survive a lifetime of being knocked.

No fixture in the collection uses a visible bulb. The light source is always behind stone, glass or metal.

IIInspiration

The way candlelight behaves inside an alabaster window in a Tuscan church: not bright, but present.

IIICraft

Alabaster is hand-selected block by block for translucency and veining. Bronze components are lost-wax cast and hand-patinated. Each fixture is individually photometered before dispatch.
