Limited Edition
MOON Ninety Alabaster
Currently ed. 19/100
Not a lamp. The moon.
It follows the real moon
The illuminated part of the stone corresponds to the illuminated part of the moon above you. Nothing is prerecorded; the phase is calculated continuously.
There is no override, no preset, no way to choose a phase you prefer. The moon sets the rhythm.

New moon: the stone is dark.
At new moon the lit side of the moon faces away from us. MOON shows it as it is.

Then a crescent.
The lit part grows continuously, minute by minute, exactly as you see it in the sky.
Timelapse · 29.5 days
Full moon.
The whole stone, lit from behind.

Then it wanes.
29.5 days later the cycle starts again.
Cut from one block
Alabaster is a natural stone, formed over millions of years, and no two blocks share the same veins: a landscape that already looks like the moon’s.
It passes light without colouring it: light scatters inside the 16 mm face and comes through the stone, not past it. Each MOON Ninety is cut from one block, quarried in Spain and finished by hand in Lisbon.
Two ways to live with it
MOON has two modes, set in the app or on the remote. Both always show the moon’s real phase, as it appears from your location: they differ only in when the stone is lit.
Contemplative light
In Real mode, MOON lights only while the moon is above your horizon. The moon is up by day as often as by night and rises about 50 minutes later each day, so the stone may glow at three in the afternoon and stay dark until midnight.
Functional light
In Everlit mode, MOON keeps showing the true phase whether the moon is up or not, and shines when you want it: dimmed and warmed like any other fixture, which is how most hotels and practices use it.
“There is not a civilisation on earth, irrespective of religion, ideologies, and customs that has not gazed up at the moon and felt pangs of introspection and reflection.
We have created an object that wants to evoke the same feeling.”
Vadim Fortunato, Lisbon
Where it lives
At 900 mm it takes a wall of its own: a living room, a stairwell, a shop, a villa.
