An epoxy powder coated metal internal frame carries the rings, which are secured with three small stainless steel wires. Ceiling canopy: galvanised metal bracket, cover in glossy white batch-dyed ABS. Three stainless steel cables and a transparent electrical cable make up the suspension.

Story
A suspended work of architecture
Le Soleil Suspension, designed in 2009, is a suspended work of architecture that suggests the profile of the Guggenheim Museum in New York. The irregular bands add dynamism to the volume.
A true focal point
The image of the lamp differs with the vantage point, in a unique game of reflected and diffused light. The lamp is a genuine visual focus point and a true focal point.
