The sculpture is designed to resemble a stylized chair, crafted from wood-like materials with a smooth finish. It features a natural wood color with blue accents spread throughout the surface. The chair incorporates organic and abstract forms with undulating lines and irregular edges, extending upward to create a tall backrest that resembles flames or waves. The seat and legs of the chair follow a similar aesthetic, with flowing contours and blue accents. The sculpture stands on a plain background.
