24 Karat Blau gives off wonderfully warm, friendly light. The shades are handmade individually in Japan. In a unique process, the wafer-thin gold leaf is cast in acrylic.
The gold leaf is beaten to a thickness of 1/10,000 mm, so that short-wave blue light can penetrate between the molecules, whilst yellow-gold light is reflected. The shades each have four drill holes, with which they can be hung on the frame at various different angles. The cable and rods are red. The lighting effect can also be produced using light sources with LED strings.
