Description
HANGING STEEL BALL
THE INSPIRATION DRAWN FROM NEWTON’S PENDULUM IS PALPABLE IN THE PIECE’S ELEGANT FORM AND THE POISED BALANCE IT ACHIEVES. INITIALLY CONCEIVED AS A HANGING SIDEBOARD, THE DESIGN HAS EVOLVED TO SUIT A MYRIAD OF USES WITHIN PRIVATE HOMES. ITS AESTHETIC APPEAL AND FUNCTIONAL VERSATILITY MAKE IT A STANDOUT ADDITION TO ANY LIVING SPACE.
ONE OF THE MOST STRIKING FEATURES OF BOLLIGER’S CREATION IS THE IMPRESSIVE LIGHTING EFFECT IT OFFERS. THE BUILT-IN SPOTLIGHT CASTS A WARM, INVITING GLOW, TRANSFORMING THE SPHERE INTO A CAPTIVATING LUMINAIRE. THE SPHERE’S ABILITY TO BE SUSPENDED UP TO 6 METERS FROM THE CEILING WITHOUT ROTATING OR DISPLAYING ANY VISIBLE POWER SUPPLY SPEAKS TO BOLLIGER’S MASTERY OF BOTH FORM AND FUNCTION, ENSURING A SEAMLESS INTEGRATION INTO VARIOUS ARCHITECTURAL CONTEXTS.

Fabian believes that every object possesses its own narrative, making it unique and extraordinary. By merging abstract art with furniture design, he creates a harmonious connection between creativity and functionality, infusing everyday items with profound artistic significance. His craftsmanship is characterized by a distinctive painting technique that involves the meticulous application and removal of varnish layers, utilizing various carpentry tools.
This dynamic process evolves organically, particularly when he works with materials such as wood, steel, and aluminum.
