Sweeping lines of grain curve around the sphere, interrupted by fine natural fissures and scattered insect holes — small imperfections that lend the piece its distinctive character and speak to the wood's past life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese sculptural wooden spheres are sourced in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the far north-east of Italy, close to the Slovenian border.

The maker, who prefers to remain anonymous, works slowly and intuitively, allowing the natural character of each piece of salvaged wood to guide the final form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEach Bàle comes with an Anèi ring in solid, unlacquered brass, which serves as its base.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFoliage shown for styling purposes only and not included with the piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Il mio negozio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55618694545749,"sku":null,"price":260.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/3001\/3269\/files\/TVP_Bale_03_-9.jpg?v=1793567590","url":"https:\/\/thevenetianpantry.com\/products\/bala-no-22","provider":"The Venetian Pantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
