There is a steel ceiling fitting, as well as a vacuum-formed ABS rose with a white gloss finish.Inspiration behind the design:What is more industrious than a beehive?

Here, they drew their inspiration from a beehive-bustling with energy and remarkably efficient.This item is compatible only in the United States.
