Unique Carved Marble Table Lamp "Moonlight II" by Alba Abiad and Naveen Jose.
The Moonlight II table lamp is a captivating lighting piece designed by Alba Abiad in collaboration with Naveen Jose. Handcrafted from a single block of Makrana marble, this stunning lamp is part of a unique collection inspired by the celestial bodies and cosmic landscapes. The warm light it emits creates a serene and calming atmosphere, ideal for modern interiors seeking both elegance and tranquility.
The lamp is a testament to the art of hand carving, transforming a natural material of great weight and opacity into a beacon of lightness and transparency. Carved out of handpicked marble, the light object carries the essence of its origin—a portion of a stone landscape—recontextualized through the transformative process of sculpture. Its subtle glow reveals the authentic nature of the marble, creating a direct connection with the earth and the universe.
The design concept reflects a deep, philosophical approach to materiality, where the presence of light becomes a tool of revelation—allowing the viewer to experience a moment of connection with the cosmic landscape. A piece that speaks to both aesthetics and meaning, Moonlight I invites you to reflect on time, space, and the journey of materials from earth to light.
