HANGING STEEL BALL
The "Hanging Steel Ball" light installation is a distinctive piece of art crafted entirely from premium steel, seamlessly blending stylish ambient lighting with functional elegance. This masterpiece not only serves as an artistic lighting fixture but can also function as a suspended shelf, showcasing sculptures and decorative items that are beautifully highlighted by the integrated spotlighting.
Inspired by the classic Newton's cradle, the initial version featured four hanging spheres that doubled as a sideboard. Due to the popularity of the single, freely hanging illuminated sphere, the "Hanging Steel Ball" is now also available as an individual piece.
The highlight of this artwork is the captivating light effect that transforms it into a luminous focal point in the dark. The hollow sphere turns into a radiant globe at night, drawing every eye and captivating viewers.
Each "Hanging Steel Ball" measures 48 cm in diameter and is suspended by a custom-designed, delicate steel mount that can be adjusted up to 4 meters from the ceiling with no visible cables. This mount ensures easy positioning while preventing the sphere from rotating in the wind. A discreet ceiling cap provides a sleek finishing touch. The color choice is entirely customisable, as each sphere is individually crafted to meet customer specifications in my studio in Switzerland.
