The spheres are companions, slightly different in size, hand-finished individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEach piece is its own\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver-grey travertine is the subtlest of the three travertine tones we use. The grey carries quiet variation through the stone, sometimes denser, sometimes lighter, with mineral marks that read as soft shadow. We do not sort or select for uniformity. Your pair will have its own character, different from the photograph and from any other pair. Within the pair, the two spheres are companions, not matched. The differences are deliberate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo objects to sit on a surface. Together as a pair on a desk, console, or shelf.
