Frequently Asked Questions

What is Volterra alabaster and why is it used in lighting?

Volterra alabaster is a fine-grained gypsum stone quarried near the Tuscan town of Volterra, worked by local artisans for over two millennia. Its natural translucency allows light to pass through the stone itself, producing a warm, diffused glow that is impossible to achieve with glass or synthetic materials.

What does 'made to order' mean for Alberi di Toscana?

Made-to-order pieces are produced specifically upon request, allowing buyers to select from available tray sizes, ash wood finishes, and alabaster shade configurations. Lead times vary and are confirmed at the time of order.

Which tree silhouettes are available for the lampshade?

The alabaster shade is offered in forms inspired by iconic Tuscan trees, including olive, cypress, and maritime pine. Each silhouette is a distinct interpretation of the tree's characteristic profile.

Who is Giuseppe Casarosa?

Giuseppe Casarosa is an Italian designer who has worked closely with Ceccotti Collezioni, a Tuscan atelier known for its mastery of wood and its dedication to regional craft traditions. His work tends toward quiet, purposeful forms that draw meaning from natural references and artisanal process.

Can Alberi di Toscana function as an entryway object?

The design was conceived with exactly that context in mind. The ash wood tray serves as a practical catchall surface while the alabaster lamp provides ambient light, making the piece well suited to entryways, bedside tables, and other intimate settings.
