All surfaces are smooth, with proportional spacing between the shades and a central stem that emphasizes the construction’s precision.

Decoration is eschewed in favor of the logic of design and the subtle interplay between light and space. It can be suspended above a dining table or as a central feature in a living room, where its softly diffused illumination complements both minimalist and more eclectic interiors. It may be paired with light-toned wood furniture, artistic ceramics, or graphite accents to enhance contrast and highlight its delicate off-white tone. In mid-century modern settings, it works especially well with low credenzas, upholstered armchairs, and geometric textiles, introducing a gentle architectural rhythm to the
