Among the designed new objects, the lamp series Quarry made an impact with light’s pleasant effects through marble veins which has perfect finesse. They are thin-walled, hand-turned marble pendant lights suitable for roughly finished interior.
Quarry with marble’s translucent properties spreads out the light and make visible its veining. The traditional material makes use of an LED, which is hand turned cavity remain open. You could enjoy lighting with a beautiful lamp design. The lamps are made of very thin sheets of marble which is polished repeatedly to get a translucent effect, when illuminated by LED bulb from within.

It would be spectacular, to watch the lining up of Quarry lamps from raw material to finished forms, with details of smooth exterior and rough interior having range of sizes and shapes .The stylish lamp shade adds glamour to the interior designing if it is matched with fabric shade. Though it is simple in design it adds texture and gives an account of stone production.
