The fixture consists of a ceiling cup and central brass stem with the five brass arms attached to the lower centre. The distinct shades are made of a matte white opaline glass. The three-dimensional studded pattern of the glass gives the shades a beautiful and interesting texture, both when the lamp is turned on and off. Other noteworthy details include the brass finials and the middle part of the stem in black lacquered metal. The high quality of the production and the originality of the design are exemplary for the Swedish Modern lighting of the 1950s.
