The visual appearance of the fixture is primarily defined by a precisely crafted structure made of professionally cleaned chromed steel, characterized by high gloss, elegance, and absolute cleanliness of detail. This metal structure is ingeniously fitted with six opaline glass shades. The entire design reflects the space age and innovative approach of the time, while placing maximum emphasis on clean lines, purposefulness, and visual lightness.

The item has undergone a complete, highly professional, and sensitive renovation carried out with the utmost regard for preserving original authenticity. The brand-new electrical wiring was executed in absolute compliance with applicable safety regulations and technical standards.

Thanks to this professional renovation, the fixture is fully ready for immediate and safe hanging.
