Alabaster is the stone of art par excellence, a much-appreciate resource for sculptors and architects who, from antiquity until these days, have been able to take advantage of its characteristic features, above all the ease with which it can be worked and polished and its translucency, a property as rare among rocks as effective in magnifying their natural beauty. “Alabastron” was the name of a village in Old Egypt, located near the city of Thebes, in which a calcareous-type translucent stone was extracted. It seems that the term also referred to objects originating from that place, which, originally, were made with this material. Eventually the term began to refer only to the white translucent rock used in art and in the manufacturing of much appreciate vessels.  The key to an elegant, opulent, bespoke design is understanding the aspirations of the client, the relevance of location and through maximizing the potential of existing elements of the space.
