Mantle II

Mantle II

Inspired by planet Earth, Mantle sculptures' intrigue lies in the tension between the wafer-thin crust and the golden interior – a metaphor for our ecosystem.

A delicate latticework of hundreds of verdigris bronze petals, each with an underside gilded in 23¾ carat gold leaf give these modern outdoor sculptures an ethereal glow suggesting an inner life force – a breathtaking effect made even more dramatic at night by subtle internal illumination.

Mantle II, inspired by the iconic original mantle, is a limited edition of 150. Each commission will be numbered and signed by David.

Created from two pairs of petal shapes in two sizes, the overall effect of Mantle II encourages the mind and eye to seek and follow patterns in the petals and gaps though the piece retains the delicate lattice feel of the original.

Finishes:
The sculpture can be commissioned in bronze and 23¾ carat gold leaf; mirror polished stainless steel spray-painted on the inside with any RAL colour; or it can be in oxidised steel.

Personalisation: 
A custom engraving or etching makes a commission a much more intimate and personal process. Mantle II can incorporate a few words on a discreetly located petal.

Dimensions: 76cm, 100cm or 120cm diametre. 
Customised version in other diametres available.
