It has twenty-four LED light sticks that are carefully woven and threaded onto the 48 tubes of textiles. When coming together, it creates a three-dimensional shape similar to a spirograph and is captivating due to the [geometric design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caleide). It features a basket-like shade and comes in four colorways including Blue Tormaline, Brick, Anthracite, and Almond.
