The two lights differentiate based on their heights -- one is shorter than the other. Both of them have a [structural build](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luno-lamp) and rest on a solid base that is crafted from aluminum to contrast the ribbed white shade above, which evokes a warm diffused light. Bruun shares the design process, stating "We wanted to create a new interpretation of the classic rice paper lamp. A design sharing its lightness and softness but with a [solid sculptural base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polyshape-lamp). We explored contrasting materials to create a unique presence and sculptural reference."
