Description
The Marvello is a 240mm alabaster table lamp shaped as a single sphere of natural Spanish alabaster, finished in soft white and built around a concealed solid copper internal structure. A single G9 lamp socket sits inside the orb, with the stone itself acting as the diffuser. Height and diameter are matched at 240mm, giving the lamp a true globe silhouette without a separate base, stem or shade.
The orb form suits side tables, console tables, bedside tables and bookshelves where a low, compact light source is needed rather than a tall traditional lamp. At 240mm across, the Marvello reads as an object as much as a light, working in pairs at either end of a sideboard or singly on a hallway console. The G9 socket accepts standard G9 capsule bulbs (sold separately), with warm-white LEDs around 2700K best matching the natural tone of the stone.
Each orb is carved from a solid block of Spanish alabaster, so veining, mineral streaking and tonal variation differ between individual pieces. Cloud-like wisps of white and cream cross more pronounced grey mineral lines, and these patterns become more visible once the lamp is switched on and light passes through the stone. The copper internal structure is hidden inside the orb, keeping the exterior surface uninterrupted.
With no visible fittings, hardware or decoration on the outside, the Marvello relies on the material itself for character. The smooth, finely finished surface picks up reflected light from the room during the day and turns into a soft, glowing sphere once switched on, suiting modern, minimal and natural-material interiors.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does the Marvello take?
The lamp uses a single G9 capsule bulb, sold separately. A warm-white LED G9 around 2700K-3000K best matches the natural tone of the alabaster and reduces heat inside the orb compared with a halogen capsule.
Does each lamp look the same?
No. Each orb is carved from a solid block of natural Spanish alabaster, so the veining, mineral streaks and tonal variation differ between individual pieces. This is a feature of the natural stone rather than a defect, and the patterns become more visible when the lamp is lit.
How heavy is the lamp and where does it suit?
The Marvello is a solid stone orb measuring 240mm in both height and diameter, built around a copper internal structure, so it has a substantial weight relative to its size. It suits side tables, console tables, bedside tables and shelving that can comfortably support a solid alabaster object of this scale.
How is the alabaster cleaned?
Alabaster is porous and softer than marble. Wipe gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. For more stubborn marks a barely-damp cloth with distilled water is acceptable, but avoid soaking the stone and do not use household sprays, polishes or chemical cleaners.
