Crafted from smoked amber glass, the design introduces a subtle warmth and rich tonal variation. This amber glass shades interacts beautifully with light, casting an atmospheric glow that enhances the chandelier's overall elegance. The smoked finish further adds a contemporary edge to the piece, contrasting its clean geometry.

The frame is constructed from brushed brass with a center cylindrical housing in black enamel, giving it a refined metallic finish that complements the warm hues of the smoked glass.
