Chosen, not produced
Every block is selected for its veins. Those that don't let light through properly are set aside.
Albéa was born from that conviction — and from a block of alabaster placed on a table one winter evening.
Alabaster forms over thousands of years. Switched off, it's an opaque pebble. Switched on, it becomes translucent and draws on the walls a pattern that belongs to it alone.
We searched a long time for a workshop able to carve blocks thin enough to let light through without weakening the stone.
We wanted an object you place and forget about. Built-in battery, USB-C charging, brightness adjusted with a simple touch on the stone.
Nothing to screw in, nothing to hide, nothing to program.

Albéa is a small French brand. The design, the light settings and the testing happen here.
2-year warranty, a battery built for hundreds of cycles, and a stone that never goes out of style.
