The central column extends down from the ceiling, supporting the entire structure, and it serves as both the structural core and the electrical conduit.

This combination of modernist form with luxury materials creates a striking balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal. The overall color is dominated by the warm, golden brass tone, which contributes to a sense of richness and sophistication. The chandelier is sleek and imposing, suitable for a large, high-ceilinged space.
