Alkaid Shaping Kit — Master
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Shaping — light is made at the last metre
Shaping is taste made mechanical; the Alkaid supplies the mechanics — lanterns that calm whole rooms, dishes that sculpt without cruelty, and a case that packs flat like it respects your boot.
A parabolic is a precision instrument pretending to be an umbrella: sixteen or twenty-four ribs holding a true curve, a focusing rod that glides and locks, and fabrics whose silver keeps its colour after the two-hundredth assembly. Ours are hand-finished, serialised, and repairable rib by rib.
Design & Craft
- Beam pattern measured on our photometric bench — the listing is the box
- Dish curves tuned for the jaw-flattering mid-fall
- S-type as standard; speedrings for major systems in the options
- Every panel, rib and layer stocked as a part for fifteen years
- Lanterns wrap rooms in one soft decision

Care
Brush textiles dry, never wash silver fabrics, and let diffusion dry before rolling. Store parabolics on the rod, ribs relaxed. Small tears are repairable — send photographs to the concierge and parts ship from Prague.
Questions, Answered
How repeatable is the focus effect on the parabolics?
The rod is indexed — note the number, repeat the look. Beam maps at three rod positions ship in the box.
Which mount does it fit?
S-type as standard, with speedrings for the major systems listed in the options. Tell the concierge your fixtures and we confirm fitment before dispatch.
