Product Innovation / Specification:
"The Black O innovates by using alabaster plates in organic, random shapes, creating a smooth, sculptural feel. By utilizing the natural translucency of alabaster, the piece emits a soft,ambient glow. This combination of organic form and functional lighting makes it both an art piece and a practical fixture, redefining how alabaster is used in lighting design."
