It combines utilitarian function with organic ornamentation, characteristic of lighting of the post-war modernism period - with influences of both art déco style and retro-futuristic aesthetics of the 1960s.
Coating the glass with a layer of metal oxides, gives the surface a pearly, iridescent sheen - it shimmers with shades of pink, gold depending on the angle of light.

The effect is often compared to a pearl shell or flower petals bathed in morning dew.
The pattern on the glass shade is convex, radiating from the center - resembling a rosette .
