// As SEEN in Architectural Digest for Statement Pieces Nov 2021 Online! (Bungalow Twelve Shop Link in Bio!)

This stunning handblown mercury glass sphere comes straight from Mexico and is inspired by the very pieces used by the renowned Mexican architect Luis Barragán in the 1960s. Barragán employed these spheres to reflect light and evoke a spiritual connection within spaces.

The large, spherical globe is crafted from thick glass, with natural variations and bubbles that showcase the artistry of skilled glasswork artisans. It rests elegantly on a wooden ring stand, making it perfect for year-round decor. Whether illuminating a bookshelf, serving as a dining table centerpiece, or adding intrigue to a special niche, this sphere is a captivating focal point.

Its timeless beauty also makes it a striking addition to any holiday decorating scheme. Truly a statement piece that will elevate any space with its history, craftsmanship, and reflective charm!

Specification:
Size: 7.5” Approx (size without stand; stand included)
Weight: 4 lbs - 5 lbs approx, depending on the sphere




Fine Print:
*Sizes may vary slightly, as each piece is handblown, also bubbles are normal and may appear more in some spheres, reflecting the unique artistry of the craftsmanship. Special requests are always welcome but must be made prior to the shipment of the sphere.

Each globe is spherical and may vary slightly; all include a small wooden base for display. However, we recommend additional methods to secure your globe to ensure stability, such as using mounting putty for extra support.

While these spheres are designed for indoor use, Barragán also showcased them in his gardens. If exposed to outdoor elements, please expect some patina; sealing the opening would be necessary to protect the piece
