Design details

Alba’s flowing, organic design magnifies artful interiors. Made to elevate a living room, create a striking tablescape or stand on its own as an inspiring centerpiece, Alba has a refined geometry and deep sensitivity to light and space.

Sunlit living room with tall windows, columns, and a modern sculpture—perfect to display sculptures at home.
Close-up of overlapping, abstract metallic shapes with soft curves and cut-out centres. The pieces are a light, silvery colour and appear layered, creating a sense of depth and organic movement against a softly blurred background.

Our stainless-steel Alba is a highly customizable. Its painted finish can be color-matched to any interior or exterior paint and will feature a gradient of hues between each layer. A mirror-polished, stainless-steel dome base inside the piece reflects Alba’s shape, giving the impression of branching coral reaching skyward.

A white, abstract, metal sculpture resembling coral sits on a round, gold side table. The background features a turquoise textured wall and a wooden door. Soft natural light highlights the sculpture's intricate cut-out design.

“Alba seeks to capture the complex narrative of elegant vulnerability that resonates with the endangered and unseen ecosystems of coral reefs. Echoing these living organisms, Alba is a single structure made of multiple parts. The individual elements feign fragility, but are resilient in their unified form.”

Our oxidized steel version of Alba can be displayed indoors or out. Taller than the painted Alba but with the same compact footprint, it’s an exceptional piece for outdoor settings, whether that is a terrace, a patio or a garden.

Unlike David Harber’s interior wall art, Alba is a decorative object that can bring artful elegance to the smallest of rooms. Make a first impression by displaying Alba on a hallway tabletop, or allow Alba’s seemingly delicate appearance to become the centrepiece of a curated coffee table.

Product information

Each Alba is made to order and entirely bespoke to you. You can choose between powder-coated stainless steel, in a colourway suited to your home decor, or oxidised stainless steel for a more natural look.

Alba is a free standing decor accent that is available in a selection of sizes and materials.

Overseas shipping quotes can be obtained and charged at cost.

The finishes will exhibit some natural weathering with age. However, periodic cleaning will help preserve its beauty. We would recommend that it be cleaned at least once a year, but only with warm water and a soft cloth to remove any detritus. Use of any abrasive cleaner will damage the finish and must be avoided.

Maintenance instructions will be issued on installation.
