This design is emblematic of [[Chen Chen & Kai Williams]]'s design philosophy of combining common materials to create new forms. The loose and ornate composition of the "caviar" is uniquely produced via the process of spreading the steel shot and epoxy mix. However on the reverse side of the same part is a technically molded form which serves a utilitarian purpose of housing all the electrical components. This shows the duality of one material. The lens further produces an phenomenological occurrence that introduces an illusion of movement within a still object by bending the light in a way that shifts as the viewer moves around.

'''Stainless''' was debuted by Patrick Parrish Gallery at Design Miami 2016. This version has a body that appears the same as the Version 2 from the front. The main difference is the configuration of the mounting hardware and cleating system. The tripod fixture that holds the illuminated glass lens is painted steel. Five units of a silver edition for Spazio Nobile also have the Version 1 configuration.
