It is attached to the ceiling by a rectangular metal plate that houses the light fixtures. from this plate hang more than 180 hand-blown glass pieces, each measuring 28 x 5 cm and approximately 8 mm thick. Each piece is unique and features a different pattern. These rectangular prism-shaped pieces have a base of textured, transparent glass and are decorated with honey-colored glass that depicts various thread or filament shapes fused into the plate itself.

The composition begins with a central row, the lowest and smallest, containing 12 teardrop-shaped pieces. from there, five more rows ascend, reaching the outermost and tallest row with 46 suspended pieces.

The light diffuses and reflects through the irregularities of each piece, creating a sophisticated atmosphere of amber or champagne tones. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
