A stem of satin-finished brass. And on top, or below, as if in a balancing act, a glass sphere that projects outwards in a delicate equilibrium at the end of a slanting baton. Apparently unstable, the opalescent ball looks as though it might slip away, as if it were the apparatus to a juggler’s act in which sphere and baton are magically balanced. By Cypriot designer Michael Anastassiades.
