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.

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.

“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.”

David Harber, Founder

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.
