Monvara 2 Light Monolith Alabaster Floor Lamp - Soft White

The Monvara is a 760mm floor lamp cut as a single rectangular monolith from Spanish alabaster and marble, with a 400mm by 400mm square footprint. Two E27 bulbs (sold separately) sit inside the hollowed body, lighting the stone from within so the alabaster itself becomes the diffuser. The result is a soft, ambient glow that reveals the natural veining and warm caramel patches running through the lower section of the block.

Sized for floor placement next to a sofa, in an entrance hall, or as a low-level corner light in a bedroom, the Monvara works as an ambient and decorative source rather than task lighting. Its 760mm height keeps it below sofa-arm level, casting light upward through the stone and outward across the floor. The two E27 fittings allow the brightness to be tuned by bulb choice, with warm-white 2700K LEDs of 6-9W typically suiting the alabaster best.

Each Monvara is cut from a natural block, so the pattern of veining, the position of the warm mineral inclusions, and the translucency vary between pieces. The base section in the example shown carries pronounced amber veining, while the upper section reads as a clean soft white. The squared edges and flat planes give the lamp an architectural, sculptural presence that holds its own against modern furniture and softens against textured or layered interiors.

What bulbs does the Monvara take?

The lamp takes two E27 (Edison screw) bulbs, sold separately. Most owners pair it with warm-white LEDs around 2700K-3000K at 6-9W each, which brings out the natural amber veining in the alabaster without overpowering the room.

Will every Monvara look the same as the one pictured?

No. Each lamp is cut from a natural block of Spanish alabaster and marble, so the pattern of veining, the depth of the amber inclusions, and the translucency of the stone differ between pieces. This is a feature of the natural material rather than a defect.

How heavy is it and is it stable on rugs?

Solid alabaster and marble are dense materials, so the Monvara has substantial weight for its 400mm-square footprint and sits stably on hard floors and low-pile rugs. The exact weight is not listed for this piece — please contact us if shipping or floor-loading is a concern.

How is the alabaster cleaned?

Alabaster is porous and softer than marble. Wipe with a dry, soft microfibre cloth. For marks, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water only. Avoid household sprays, polishes, vinegar or any chemical cleaners, as these can stain or etch the stone.
