Each cable combines a brass wire, which gives structure and carries current, with an elastic wire that allows sliding. A circular brass disc holding an LED runs along the cables and can be turned by hand through 360 degrees. Stoccolma can light a corner, serve as a reading light beside a bed or illuminate a table. The structure removes the need for a separate power cable.

Luminaire positions and angles are calculated so that no lamp surface is visible from inside or outside. A DMX512 control system allows dynamic change of the facade.

The base holds a wireless charging coil, and a receiver coil inside the stem collects the energy and charges the lamp. The outer shell is made by 3D printing in PLA, while the bendable stem is 3D printed in silicone around an iron wire. The lamp measures 110 x 95 x 460 millimetres.
