suspended from a refinished white stem, the centerpiece is a 55 cm lacquered aluminum disc in satin black.

nestled beneath this dome are three cone-shaped shades in a bauhaus-inspired palette: red, yellow, and cobalt blue.

a defining feature of the design is the rows of star-shaped micro-perforations along the rims of each shade.

when illuminated, these pinholes pierce the metal to cast a subtle stardust effect, while the open cones simultaneously wash the ceiling and the space below in a warm, architectural glow.

this vintage pendant has undergone professional restoration. The entire fixture has been professionally rewired, preserving its original appearance.
