The fixture is anchored to the ceiling by a long, rectangular white lacquered canopy from which a sequence of thin rods extend outward and downward. from each point in this framework hangs a single pendant light, a clear glass globe with a brass socket. The globes are arranged in multiple staggered rows, creating a gentle descending formation that reads almost like a luminous constellation.
