My very favourite artist/designer is Thomas Heatherwick. He creates the most beautiful sculptures including Bleigiessen, I have admired this sculpture for many years. It is created using thousands of glass beads suspended on wire. It is around 5 storeys high and you can just about see it from the street.
I have never managed to view it inside, unfortunately it is situated in an office building and you can only visit on the first friday of the month. He also created the B of the Bang which was designed as a monument to the 2002 Olympic Games. Unfortunately before its unveiling in 2006 a tip of one of the spikes fell to the ground. The name for the sculpture came from the phrase coined by Linford Christie. His studio, Heatherwick studio was established in 1994 to create exciting projects. http://www.heatherwick.com/
