The chandelier mimics an octopus or a squid in shape. Aage Rafn is primarily know for his role as one of the architects behind the creation of the Copenhagen Police building where he alongside Hack Kampmann made several bespoke light fixtures for the interior. However this piece is merely attributed to AF since the information from this period is rather scarce/incomplete when it comes to his lighting designs.
