Light gently passes through the perforated band between the two layers, as well as through the circular glass lens at the base, creating a warm, diffused glow. The fixture is suspended via a white spiral electrical cable that conceals a tensioned metal support wire, enabling vertical adjustment within a fixed range. The design ensures even light diffusion through the perforations and lens while maintaining structural integrity and clean suspension. This is the version in nickel-plated brass.
