More info

In the pure style of the Second French Empire (Napoléon III, late 19th century) and inspired by the universe of the Cabinets of Curiosities, this natural sphere in barnacle fascinates both its complex texture and its history.


Composed of real balans carefully assembled in a sculptural and poetic sphere, it evokes a petrified marine bloom.
Each of these small tubular structures, with natural shades of pink, white and lilac, is precisely imbricated in a symmetrical entanglement worthy of the most precious creations of nature.
Handcrafted in Indonesia by our artisan partners, this rare piece is a dialogue between natural art and human know-how.


Barnacle, often taken for shellfish, are actually sessile crustaceans that permanently attach to rocks, ship hulls or even whales.
Their amazing gripping capacity fascinates researchers and still inspires medical and industrial fields, especially for the development of bio-inspired glues.


Ideal to adorn a desk, a library or a collection showcase, this balan sphere will seduce lovers of marine curiosities, natural art and unusual decoration.
An intriguing work, on the border between biology and the wonderful.


Dimensions: 20 cm diameter / 7"9.
