Know before you buy
Because alabaster is a natural stone, each base features unique veining and color variations. This means every lamp is one-of-a-kind, though the overall form remains consistent with the design.
The Babel is designed primarily for ambient, diffused lighting rather than task-focused illumination. While it creates a beautiful, warm glow, you may want to pair it with a dedicated reading light if you require high-intensity brightness.
Yes, the lamp uses a standard E26 base, making it compatible with most smart bulbs. Ensure your chosen bulb fits within the dimensions of the shade to maintain the intended light diffusion.
Alabaster is a porous stone, so it should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, household cleaners, or abrasive materials, as these can damage or stain the surface.
Yes, the solid alabaster construction provides significant weight and stability. It is well-balanced and unlikely to tip over during normal use.
The Babel typically ships without a bulb, allowing you to choose between an LED or incandescent option based on your preferred color temperature and brightness.
