Unique. Vibrant. Mysterious. At the core, alabaster’s qualities have always fascinated me. I made it my mission to introduce this extraordinary stone into the class of noble materials. Our designs merge the stone’s density with light in a weightless expression of intense warmth and emotion.
Before becoming a designer, I was first and foremost a sculptor. My work is deeply inspired by raw, natural materials and the beauty found in emergence. Every piece I design arises from a close, personal connection with alabaster, a bond shaped by my visits to the quarries.
The stone requires patience, profound understanding, and a steady hand to reveal its essence. Selecting, cutting, and sculpting it is a journey that unfolds gradually, embodying the purity of the raw material and the artisan's skill. This collection reflects that journey, offering an invitation to explore the authenticity and strength of mineral forms.

Exploration into the heart of alabaster quarries
It was in these places that Alain Ellouz learned to observe, to choose, and to carefully select blocks of alabaster. These blocks are the foundation of his creations, each telling its own story and allowing the material to express its authentic essence, gently and with all the respect it demands.
Admiring alabaster is a journey into its depth. As a young and constantly evolving material, alabaster inspires us to continually push boundaries to further reveal its beauty.
The bark, an alabaster shell, encases the power and essence of life within
Each layer of alabaster’s bark, crafted over millennia by the earth, reveals a story of creation and transformation.
Like an ancient fossil, the bark stands as a silent witness to mineral, plant, and animal life, frozen in time.
For 20 years, Alain Ellouz has been tirelessly innovating to elevate this gem to the forefront of art and design.
Discovery of the alabaster slabs at the Workshop
After identifying the alabaster blocks at the quarry, we receive slices of this unique stone directly from Spain.
Each piece is then carefully selected to create unique tables, where the color, texture, and natural shades of the stone play a key role in the final design.
The bark of alabaster is precisely cut. The tabletop is then treated to guarantee the surface has optimal impermeability and resistance, thus ensuring exceptional durability.

beauty of alabaster and bringing balance and harmony to the table through the choice of legs.
Unique models with a timeless design and exceptional technical prowess, decidedly innovative.
