Alba

Inspired by the fragile beauty of coral, Alba’s delicate layers of handcrafted metalwork seek to connect the natural and built world. A reflection of nature’s design in sculptural form. Alba is our first freestanding design for the home and is available in two variations, so it can be displayed both indoors and out.

Variations & finishes

Close-up of an abstract metal sculpture featuring interwoven, elongated shapes with open, rounded cut-outs. The sculpture is cream-coloured and set against a soft-focus teal background, giving a sense of flow and organic movement.

1. Stainless Steel

Powder-coated stainless steel with a mirror-polished centre.

Curved, abstract metal shapes in a warm copper colour rise upward, resembling organic forms or stylised flames. The background transitions from a teal wall on the right to a brownish surface on the left, creating a striking contrast with the sculpture.

2. Oxidised Steel

Oxidised steel with a wax finish, for indoor spaces only.

Rust-coloured metal sculptures with abstract, organic cut-out shapes stand among grasses and reddish-purple flowers. The background is softly blurred, emphasising the weathered metal textures and the delicate flower spikes and stems in the foreground.

3. Oxidised Steel

Oxidised steel for patios, terraces or gardens.

A simple line drawing shows a human figure beside two black rectangular plinths, each displaying a textured, dark organic object on top. The left plinth and object are smaller; the right plinth and object are larger. All are on a white background.

Alba comes in two sizes, with larger sizes available on request.

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 centrepiece, Alba has a refined geometry and deep sensitivity to light and space.

Sunlit living room with neoclassical columns and large windows looking out onto a lush garden. A sculptural art piece sits on a plinth, and a striped armchair with a lamp is nearby. The space is elegant, airy, and filled with natural light.
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.
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 customisable design. Its painted finish can be colour-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 oxidised 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.

A rust-coloured metal garden sculpture with an abstract flame or leaf pattern stands among green and brown grasses, succulents, and textured plants in a landscaped garden with gravel ground cover.
A decorative, abstract metal sculpture resembling stylised flames or leaves sits on a round glass-topped table with a patterned red base. Lush green grass and plants fill the background, suggesting an indoor garden or conservatory setting.
