Selenite ( Gypsum)

Selenite, a variety of gypsum, is an exceptional natural stone renowned for its translucency and soft, almost mystical, pearly reflections. It is used in luxury cabinetmaking as a decorative element that enhances creations with its inner light and soothing aura.

Used mainly as inlays or decorative panels, selenite dresses furniture and surfaces with a unique mineral elegance. Its soft texture and white or cream shades add a delicate, luminous touch that contrasts subtly with the warmth of noble wood.

A noble material par excellence, selenite is fragile and requires expert handling. Its rarity and natural beauty make it a prestigious choice for cabinetmakers wishing to create pieces that are as artistic as they are technical. Its use in furniture is often reserved for details, small furniture surfaces or inserts in wall panels.

In cabinetmaking, selenite enhances the balance between traditional craftsmanship and innovation, offering a play of light and material that invites contemplation. At Eben&Or, it is selected for its ability to evoke calm and purity, enriching each piece of furniture with a spiritual and sensory dimension.

Integrating selenite into a piece of furniture combines finesse and refinement, while underlining the uniqueness of a rare work of craftsmanship.
