Crafting Timeless Elegance: The Making of the Oslo Pendant Light

At Metavaya, light is more than illumination — it’s an art form shaped by material, texture, and emotion. The Oslo Pendant Light captures this philosophy beautifully, blending the serene elegance of natural alabaster with the refined craftsmanship of handmade leather straps.

This union of nature and artistry results in a pendant that radiates warmth, sophistication, and timeless design.


1. The Beauty of Natural Alabaster

At the heart of the Oslo Pendant Light lies pure natural alabaster, a stone cherished for its translucent glow and organic veining. Each slab of alabaster is carefully selected and hand-carved by skilled artisans, revealing its unique grain and tone — no two pieces are ever the same.

When illuminated, the alabaster emits a soft, diffused light that fills the space with warmth and tranquility. Its subtle patterns seem to move within the stone, creating a poetic interplay of light and shadow.

Unlike synthetic materials, natural alabaster exudes an unmistakable sense of luxury and authenticity. Its depth, texture, and natural imperfections are what give the Oslo Pendant Light its sculptural presence — a true celebration of nature’s artistry.


2. The Leather Strap: A Touch of Handcrafted Refinement

Suspending the alabaster shade is a detail that embodies both function and artistry — the handcrafted leather strap. Inspired by fine shoemaking craftsmanship, each strap is made from premium full-grain leather, chosen for its durability, flexibility, and rich natural texture.

Artisans cut, stitch, and burnish the leather by hand, using time-honored techniques that ensure every edge is smooth and every curve precise. The surface is then treated with natural oils and waxes, giving it a subtle sheen and longevity that improves with age — much like luxury leather footwear.

This thoughtful integration of leather elevates the pendant from simple fixture to statement piece. The contrast between soft stone and warm leather creates a refined visual harmony — where modern design meets artisanal tradition.


3. Harmony of Material and Form

The Oslo Pendant Light is a study in balance — between natural elements and crafted detail, between lightness and structure. The smooth alabaster dome radiates a calming glow, while the tactile leather strap adds warmth and texture, grounding the piece in craftsmanship and authenticity.

Together, they form a timeless composition that enriches modern interiors — from dining rooms and living spaces to boutique hotels and art studios.

It’s more than lighting; it’s an embodiment of Metavaya’s belief in art, craft, and emotion in every design.
