Thanks to its glossy exterior, the lamp has a ceramic quality, but it is soft and supple to the touch. The electricity cord seems to flow naturally into the socket and then towards the shade. By using a special dipping paste, it was possible to create a warm colored translucency. This was a new – and beautiful quality of the dipping material, which later proved a great advantage when it softened the usually cold and harsh light of energy-efficient and LED lamps in the Softlamp. The Softlamp has been included in the collections of various museums, including the NewYork Moma, the San Fransisco Moma and the Centraal Museum Utrecht.
