Patented system:
alabaster
As a passionate sculptor with a love for alabaster,
ten years ago I began with a rough block of stone integrated lighting element
to invent and develop with my team numerous
architectural alabaster creations renowned to this
metal frame
day throughout the world. 30 mm
In order to further expand the possibilities of
this fabulous translucent stone, I offer the Solo
concept. The alabaster, along with its lighting
element is presented as one unit with a slim
profile, an optimized cost, and easier installation.
It is now possible to integrate alabaster in
numerous new applications. .

the SOLO applications
The Solo is an all-inclusive panel combining the
translucent alabaster plate, the LED light, and
its frame; all in one thin element. Standard or
custom size- it is easy to install and incorporate
into all types of architectural and decorative
motifs.

For the past 10 years, Atelier Alain Ellouz
has been the specialist in alabaster work, and
chooses its stones directly from the quarries.
It requires a large quantity of material to be
extracted in order to select the best materials
with the right size, hardness, transparency, and
figure for your project. Atelier Alain Ellouz
stocks more then 3,000 plates of alabaster,
which are constantly being renewed. .

SOLO Art
The SOLO Art, made out of a single piece of
alabaster, is hung upon your wall much like a
painting would be.
The translucent stone is uniformly back-lit to
reveal the richness of its figures. A softness
is created with this subtle light, creating an
openness for contemplation.

The SOLO Art can be hung directly as we
supply it, so that the thickness of the alabaster
is visible. It is ready to install with our system
(only 5mm), which looks as if the panel is
virtually touching the wall.
As with any light fixture, one needs to consider
the electrical supply. The low-voltage power
supply can be concealed within a small alcove
behind each SOLO panel, or placed anywhere
else within 10m of the panel.
The SOLO Art can be hung individually, or
composed in any number. The type of stone is
then selected in accordance with each client.
Like all pieces of art, the SOLO Art can be
set within a frame.

20 SOLO CONCEPT Technical Data Atelier Alain Ellouz 21Surface treatment
for alabaster
Although the aesthetic qualities of alabaster are rich, its
natural technical characteristics can pose a challenge. In order
to protect the material over time, and still reveal its natural
beauty, Atelier Alain Ellouz has developed specific techniques
called Stonelight.
Stonelight solutions
The constraints of alabaster
Strengthening treatment
This technique encloses the alabaster within an invisible
structure, thus adding resistance to flex.
The richness of patterns within the alabaster is
due to variation in density and crystallization.
Amongst those are fragile veins where the
alabaster plate may weaken. The gypsum
alabaster that we use has a hardness between
1.5 and 2, which is low (marble is 4-5, quartz
is 7, and diamond 10), and prone to scratching.

The benefits
of the Solo
This project can be realized with a limited workforce,
no sanding, and no surface treatments on-site. It can
be put together by a local team of craftsmen in two
days. The Solo option costs 40% less than a “solid”
alabaster wall option.

Guerlain, Champs Elysées
The historic Guerlain shop on the
Champs Elysees has recently brought in
new light with Solo furnishing elements.
The Solo was the answer to the challenge
the interior architects of Guerlain faced
to give this flagship store a new, fresh feel.
48 SOLO CONCEPT /Guer lain Atelier Alain Ellouz 49The Solo panels, fitted at the back of four openings,
replace mirrors. The four countertops have also
been fitted with alabaster plates- all of them
removable. The new stone fits perfectly amongst
the composed marbles and reveals them with its
fresh new light.
For this project, the Solo elements have been
delivered in plates ready to be installed in the
openings and onto the counters. The carpenters
have installed the Solos themselves in a few hours
with no dust.
This enabled installation to be done overnight so
that the store could stay open during its regular
business hours.
Like any other light fixtures, the Solos are
removable at any time since nothing has been
glued into place..

Jaeger LeCoultre, London Alabaster and metal are major themes in the
line of new Jaeger LeCoultre stores throughout
the world, created by interior architect Marika
Chaumet.
In the heart of London, 13 Bond Street, this new
space benefitted from the best the Solo has to
offer. .

Phase 2: simulation from real alabaster photoss
170 Solo elements, each custom, compose this 24 m
sq. oblong ceiling ensemble. Each plate was carefully
selected for a harmonious composition. A simulation
made with real alabaster photos had been presented to
the client for approval prior to production.
Each and every element was identified and labeled
according to its shape and position. We adapted the
light according to the area of each plate for a grand
uniform result.

Compact and
removable
The Jaeger LeCoultre store posed a challenge, as it
had a limited ceiling height. Moreover, for security
reasons, access into the ceiling had to be made
available at any time. The Solo was the answer
to this great challenge, being an ensemble of
independant panels, removable with ease
On site installation
by a local team
The installation of the Solos into the steel
structure, and the wiring between the Solos
has been done easily by the team of carpenters
working on-site for the client.
