Brass is not magnetic.

Don't suppose they've discovered that yet, do you?

Suppose _just maybe_ they've got some structural/the magnets inside
the brass tubing?

It isn't well written at all, but they didn't say it was _only_ brass
nor that the brass was a solid bar; only that the brass itself is
solid brass, not plated.

Clearly, although the pictures are contrived to not show, the brass
has to be tubing that covers the structural components which include
the magnets and all...

I could fabricate the structural components in my shop . The hardest
part would be slotting the brass tubing .


Nothing exotic there construction-wise, certainly...at least from
appearances.

One gathers these are done one-off from the description to justify the
pricing structure and sell as art rather than lighting fixture.


It looked pretty standardised to me.
