About the Item

Don't let average describe your life, be extraordinary. Extraordinary wooden globe made of teak root and 91 pieces of stainless steel bolts on a stainless steel plate layered between Africa and Antarctica continents following the teak root's original shape, with hammered skin texture finishing on the ocean parts. Dimension: 11.81 In / 30 cm Materials: Reclaimed teak root, with 91 stainless steel bolts, steel and aluminium, with natural finishing on the ocean parts, mounted on aluminium bearing for easy rotation, signed and numbered. Sphere: Shaped by hand Production time: +/- 5 weeks from start to a finished product. Code number: 039 / 2018 HB Globes are created with great skill by Balinese artisans in our workshop located in the heart of Bali. Hand-carved from discarded teak roots recovered from lumber yards on distant island. Each piece is carefully examined to ensure it is fit for purpose before being rescued and shipped home. Here, the craftsmen apply their skills, transforming the twisted root bowls into spheroids of varying degree. Maps are individually drawn and then meticulously carved to the form of each individual shapes. The process of shaping, drying, carving and applying various finishes can take several weeks and requires another range of skills. Once finished, HB Globes are all one of a kind; even the spherical ones have their own character and those which veer wildly from the norm are unrepeatable. This globe is part of a collection of HB Globes special series which are made from excavated roots of old, legally logged teak trees. The roots need to be excavated from previously abandoned ground to enable further re-plantation of the area to allow for continued sustainable growth making these an extremely Eco product. Each globe comes with a cotton bag and packed in a plywood box.
