CREATING BEAUTY MEANS CONTEMPLATING THE LUXURY OF TIME
Alabastro Italiano is a brand distinguished by its ability to create unique, fully customisable products in the field of lighting.
Our experience in managing and delivering large-scale projects and site-specific installations has positioned the company as a point of reference for the most ambitious projects, from the creation of large chandeliers to the complete lighting design of hotels, villas and residences.
Attention to quality and beauty, qualities that have always identified Italian products abroad, has taken our chandeliers all over the world, from Europe to the United States, as far as India, Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, testifying to extraordinary excellence.
Our success has been built on the passion, experience and expertise of our founders, Riccardo and Alberto Ongarato, who, after years of experience in the family business specialising in design and lighting, decided to found the Alabastro Italiano brand. Every project is conceived and designed to give a strong mark of recognisability and uniqueness. Precious materials such as alabaster, brass, leather and blown glass, worked by the skilled hands of our artisans, are combined to create “timeless” objects.
Our philosophy is to carry forward the idea of high-quality lighting design, in which aesthetic research blends perfectly with functionality and energy efficiency.
From the depths of the earth to the light of the sun, Alabastro Italiano takes these extremes to heart and transcends them in a creative dynamic that accentuates simplicity and clean lines.
Alabastro Italiano has given life to an entirely new Made in Italy project, revolutionising existing collections into eternal, ever-contemporary lighting pieces. Designing clean, original lines, integrated with the latest technologies and constantly innovating, Alabastro Italiano has never lost sight of its goal: perfection.
The result of this work is an extraordinary alabaster collection. Alabaster is a material that leaves small traces of magic around it.
It is hard to identify the exact threshold where the material ends and its reflection begins. Impossible to understand how deep light sinks into its soft transparency. It changes according to the angle at which it is placed, according to the point of view. Alabaster is a compact stone, “rare to find”, which dictates precise rules and demands a familiarity that only Italian artisans possess. Alabaster needs the hand of man to come to life.
The allure of these stone objects lies in their uniqueness, in the fact that they are born from the hands of those who have left a mark and a memory through their work, and that every vein makes each piece unique.
Alabastro Italiano works with each client to create a unique project. Starting with advice on the best architectural lighting, it brings its know-how, materials, design and creative inspiration to architects and interior designers.
