The body is made of fiberglass and polyester resin coated with a granulated layer of stone and marble powder. When switched off, its matte, rough surface replicates the irregular grain and neutral sandy-gray tone of a rock. When switched on, the translucent structure filters light through the mineral coating, projecting a warm ambient light with subtle variations in intensity depending on the texture of its surfaces.

Designed with an organic and asymmetrical profile resting on a flat base, the Dora model is one of the compact formats within Cazenave's series of luminous stones. Standing 16 cm tall with a 35 x 30 cm base, its compact size allows it to be placed directly on the floor—either individually or in a group—or on a sideboard, console table, or low shelf in a living room, bedroom, or other interior design project. The original 1960s models produced by Singleton are of interest to collectors of 20th-century European lighting and to professionals seeking ambient light fixtures from that era.
