Monvela
Alabaster Pendant Light
Genuine alabaster shades on a detailed braided cord — understated glamour as a single pendant over a kitchen island, or a commanding cascade of many when clustered in a foyer. A mid-century-modern spirit in real stone, from one head to twenty-one.
Shades
Genuine alabaster
Finishes
Brass or black
Configs
1 to 21 heads
Base
E12 / E14
The Monvela is designed to scale with the room. A single alabaster shade on a braided cord is quietly glamorous over a kitchen island or a bedside; multiply it into a cluster and it becomes a sculptural cascade that anchors a foyer or a stairwell. The stone is genuine, so the light passes through it into a warm, mineral glow — and the braided cord adds a tailored, luxurious detail most pendants skip.
Eight configurations run from a single head all the way to a twenty-one-head statement, in a warm brass or a modern black finish — both paired with white alabaster.

As a single
Understated glamour
One alabaster shade is a quiet, refined accent — ideal over a kitchen island, a bedside, or in a row above a counter. The stone does the work; nothing shouts.
As a cluster
Commanding presence
Many heads at staggered heights become a sculptural cascade — a statement for a foyer, stairwell, or double-height living room where you want a real focal point.
The braided cord
A tailored detail most pendants skip.
Each head hangs from a detailed braided cord rather than a plain wire — a small, luxurious touch that reads as considered and elevates the whole fixture, especially in a cluster where the cords become part of the composition.
Two Finishes
Brass & White Alabaster
Warm brass metalwork with white stone — the richer, more classic mid-century pairing.
Black & White Alabaster
Matte black metalwork with white stone — the sleeker, more modern, higher-contrast pairing.
One of a Kind
Real stone, never repeated.
Each shade is carved from genuine natural alabaster, so veining, translucency, and tone vary from piece to piece — and in a multi-head cluster, every shade differs a little from the next.
That's the character of real stone, not a flaw — and it means your fixture won't look exactly like the photos.
Bulbs & Installation
Two things worth knowing first.
1 · It takes E12/E14 bulbs — not E26/E27
Each head uses a small-base E12 or E14 bulb (candelabra size) — not the standard E26/E27. Bulbs are not included, so you'll want one small LED candle bulb per head; a warm 2700K bulb best brings out the stone's mineral warmth. Check the head count before ordering bulbs.
2 · Larger clusters are heavy
Solid stone has real weight — the single is a light 2.35kg, but the big clusters climb fast: 9-head ~21kg, 15-head ~35kg, 21-head ~68kg. For the larger configurations, make sure the ceiling structure and mount are rated for the load, and plan for professional installation.
It's a hardwired ceiling pendant on an adjustable 59" (150cm) cord (extendable on request; larger clusters ship with longer drops), running on AC 110–240V. We recommend a licensed electrician; shut off the breaker first. Rated IP20 for indoor use — not waterproof. Handle the natural stone with care.

Questions
Answered plainly.
What bulb does it use?+
Each head takes a small-base E12 or E14 bulb (candelabra size) — not the standard E26/E27. Bulbs aren't included, so order one LED candle bulb per head. A warm 2700K bulb best brings out the alabaster's glow.
What configurations are available?+
A single pendant, a 2-head (round or square canopy), and 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, and 21-head clusters. The single suits an island or bedside; the larger clusters make a foyer or stairwell statement. The 15- and 21-head versions have their own installation guide.
How heavy are the larger clusters?+
Real stone has weight. The single is a light 2.35kg, but clusters climb quickly — roughly 21kg (9-head), 35kg (15-head), and 68kg (21-head). For the larger sizes, confirm the ceiling structure can carry the load and plan for professional installation.
Will the stone match the photos?+
No — each shade is genuine natural alabaster, so veining, translucency, and tone are unique to each piece and will differ from the photos. On a multi-head cluster, each shade also varies a little from the next — that's the character of real stone.
Can I adjust the hanging height?+
Yes — the braided cord is 59" (150cm) and adjustable, and extendable on request. Larger clusters ship with longer drops (up to 177" on the 21-head) to suit stairwells and double-height spaces.
From The Atelier
“One alabaster shade on a braided cord is already lovely over an island. But hang a dozen at staggered heights in a foyer and the same simple idea becomes architecture. We built it to scale with your room — and let the stone stay the star.”
