Daniela Puppa reduces the piece to its basic shapes, two inverted trapezoids make up the neck and the screen, two pieces of frosted glass, amber and white, on a cast iron base that stabilizes the whole. The frosting technique on glass is achieved through the application of chemical substances that create an opaque layer that gives a translucent appearance. The final effect of the frosting technique in this piece allows the double lighting system to be hidden (four bulbs arranged crosswise and another two at the base). It also has a double switch, one for the top of the lamp and one for the bottom. It is on the iron base where the designer's signature, the model number, year of manufacture and the firm to which it belongs (Fontana Arte) are found.

Along with the frosting technique, the glass on the top panel of the lamp has been subjected to the bent glass technique. This technique consists of joining two pieces of glass with different characteristics such as size, texture and color. Both pieces bond well through the application of heat or polyvinyl butyral and the subsequent application of pressure and heat. In this way, the result is a more resistant piece, in addition to the play of colors it allows.
