After working with stone in her designs for many years, Athena Calderone wanted to play with the translucency of alabaster. Her Onirique pendant makes use of thin sheets of alabaster, which allow light to shine through while conserving the precious material. The pyramid shade showcases the stone's natural beauty and unique markings on each of its four planes—features that are enhanced to a gorgeous glowing effect when illuminated. We love the way the organic warmth of the alabaster contrasts with the crisp black base. Epitomizing the designer's signature love of simplicity and geometry, the pendant has an exquisite presence in a foyer or above a dining table.
