The bright blue tone of the umbrella is particularly eye-catching. The brass details of the suspension and the canopy provide a harmonious contrast. The shade is open at the top and thus enables indirect room lighting. The light is softly refracted downwards by a glass hood as a diffuser. The most striking detail is of course the perforation. The irregular-looking holes light up as bright dots and break the shape of the umbrella. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
