Its structure, reminiscent of a totem pole or a stylized tree, is not only functional but also becomes a sculptural piece. It's not so much an object to be "used" as one to be "looked at" and appreciated, challenging the traditional conception of what an "object" should be in furniture. The use of bright colors (such as red, yellow, blue, and green) is a hallmark of the style. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
