The silk mesh texture and folds are a characteristic of the material — not defects
The intricate mesh-like texture on the surface and subtle "folds" are the natural result of premium silk stretched over the geometric steel frame. These are a standard characteristic of this material and design — not quality defects. The silk cover provides superior light diffusion and a soft, elegant finish.

Steel frame
Precisely engineered to maintain its shape under tension — the geometric cross structure produces beautiful, sculpted shadows.
