The 33 lamps are designed for Copenhagen’s Tivoli, which is one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. The geometric design features two identical bronze frame with a tetrahedral core. Dichromatic glass panels and polished stainless steel mirrors are set into the frames, with the lights being illuminated from within by LEDs.
