'Bleigiessen' - by Thomas Heatherwick
Wellcome Trust, Euston Road, London.

The 'Bleigiessen' sculpture by young British artist and designer Thomas Heatherwick was installed in the Wellcome Trust's building on Euston Road. It consists of 142,000 glass spheres, 840 kilometers of fine stainless steel wire kept taut by almost 27,000 springs.

'Bleigiessen's' sinuous and random form glows with constantly shifting colours through a unique process of sandwiching reflective dichroic film within the glass.
