Alvora · JaipurCommissioned stone art

Your idea.
Shaped in stone.

A gesture, a memory, a space waiting for its centrepiece. Bring us your starting point for an abstract sculpture or custom stone piece, and let's explore what it could become.

Every idea begins with a discussion of material, scale and feasibility.

Personal in meaning.
Singular in stone.

Alvora brings a Jaipur stone-making tradition, with roots tracing to 1915, to a personal conversation about form. Your idea gives the work its direction. The stone, its natural movement and the practical needs of your space help define what can be made.

From raw stone to a London interior.

The strongest proof of a workshop is a finished object in its setting. This Udaipur Green Marble console was made in Jaipur and installed in a private London residence.

Capability, made visible

Four shaped volumes. One continuous stone gesture.

The composition balances a long, slender top across four individually formed supports. Natural rust and cream movement in the green marble remains visible across the finished object, making the selected block part of the design rather than a neutral substrate.

Material, shaping, resolution.

The project record documents stone selection, rough shaping, support formation, tabletop production and installation. For export-scale work, jointing, weight distribution, crating and assembly are resolved alongside the object.

Material record · Udaipur Green

The material has a voice, too.

The London console began with a block selected for its deep green field and rust-and-cream movement. For a new commission, we discuss how your preferred form might work with a suitable stone, then resolve the final reference, dimensions and finish before production.

How commissioning begins

The commission conversation

From a thought
to a tangible form.

You do not need a finished design to begin. Share your starting point; we review the idea, suitable stone and practical requirements before defining a scope and quotation.

01

Share

Bring an idea, a sketch, references or a photograph of your space.

02

Explore

Discuss the form, suitable stone, intended scale and technical feasibility.

03

Define

Agree the design-development scope and fees, specifications, quotation and next approvals.

04

Make

Production follows the agreed design, written approvals and project-specific payment terms.

05

Place

Confirm packing, transport, site access and installation responsibilities in the project scope.

An idea is enough to begin

What is your
starting point?

For collectors

A personal idea.

A shape you return to, a meaningful gesture or a place you want to mark. Tell us what the piece should express and where it will live.

Discuss your idea
For interior designers

A considered space.

Share the room, your concept and the intended scale. We can review a sculptural direction against the material palette and practical requirements.

Discuss your project
For hospitality & retail

A shared experience.

Bring a brief for a space people move through and remember. Placement, quantity, feasibility and site requirements shape the conversation.

Discuss your requirements

Before you enquire

Can I enquire from the United States?

Yes. Send your city and ZIP code with the piece or project you are considering. Freight, import responsibilities, installation scope and the final destination cost must be confirmed in your quotation; the website does not offer an automatic landed price.

Do I need to choose one of the designs shown?

No. Bring your own concept, mood board or starting point. The visual studies offer inspiration; they are not a stock list. We review each idea for design rights, suitable material and technical feasibility. A reference helps communicate a direction, but is not a promise to reproduce another artist's work.

How long does production take?

Timing is assessed for your selected design, stone, quantity and workshop capacity. Ask for a written production schedule with the quotation. Production, transit, customs clearance and installation are separate stages; a target date is a request, not a confirmed delivery commitment.

Can the material or dimensions change?

Share your preferred scale, stone and finish. Changes are reviewed for feasibility and quoted before production. Natural veining and tone vary from block to block; approve the final stone reference rather than expecting an exact match to a visualisation.

Who handles US freight, duties and delivery?

Your quotation must identify freight charges, insurance, import duties and taxes, and who acts as importer. We also agree whether delivery stops at a receiving warehouse or includes an address, unloading and installation. Do not assume these services are included. Share your ZIP code and any stairs, lift, loading-dock or access restrictions with the brief.

Can I review the stone and packing before ordering?

Ask for the approved stone reference, drawing, sample requirements, net and packed weights, crate dimensions and packing approach. Photographs of the completed London console show workshop capability, not stock availability for every collection image. Inspection, damage reporting and any replacement terms must be written into your quotation.

What happens after I send an idea?

Naman, your Alvora contact, reviews the starting point with you in WhatsApp. The next conversation clarifies design direction, feasibility and the scope needed for a quotation. Any design-development work, samples, fees and revisions must be agreed first; submitting an idea does not place an order or include a free design service.

Collectors · Designers · Project teams

Tell us what
you imagine.

A finished drawing is not required. Share the idea and where it might live; Naman will be your point of contact. This starts a conversation, not an order. You review and send the message in WhatsApp.

WhatsApp opens with The Star Murti Museum, the workshop behind Alvora.

Material, scale, feasibility, design-development scope and any fees are reviewed for each commission. No automatic price or production commitment.

Two details to begin. Everything else can be discussed.

Add references and project details (optional)

These are preferences, not confirmed specifications or dates. You can share drawings and photographs directly in WhatsApp; please use references you have permission to share.

Nothing is submitted to this website. Selecting the button opens WhatsApp with your brief, where WhatsApp's terms apply. See our privacy notice.
