Globe Thistle | Sola Cube

Description:

Globe thistle is a perfect sphere bristling with tiny florets, spiky and architectural and faintly steel-blue. It is the specimen most likely to make someone pick the cube up, because the geometry looks deliberate, as though something designed it. That is precisely the idea behind Sola Cube: plants as the end product of a very long process of engineering.

• Real dried globe thistle preserved in cast acrylic resin
• Hand-polished cube with crisp, micro-radiused edges
• Made in Japan by Usagi no Nedoko; designed by founder Koichi Yoshimura
• Use as desk or shelf decoration, or as a paperweight
• Every specimen is gathered from nature, so size, shape, and colour vary; fine air bubbles from hand casting are normal and not a fault

Care: Wipe with a soft dry cloth only. Never clean with alcohol, thinner, or other solvents, which cause fine cracks in acrylic. Avoid abrasive cloths, which scratch the polish, and keep out of prolonged direct sunlight.
