Weighing a formidable 165 lbs, this solid-cast glass monolith possesses a surface quality that is remarkably "soft" to the touch. Finished with a satin, acid-etched luster, the glass diffuses light internally, giving it the appearance of a condensed cloud or a block of carved mist.
​This is not merely a pedestal; it is an Architectural Light-Anchor. Designed to stand flat and support significant weight, it serves as the ultimate "Sculpture Holder," providing a glowing, ethereal base for bronze, wood, or stone artifacts. When internally lit, the entire 16-inch mass becomes a luminous totem, radiating a gentle, atmospheric light that emphasizes its soft, organic geometry.

​Why We Love It
​There is a "shushing" quality to this piece—it feels like it absorbs the noise of a room. Its visual softness provides a perfect counterpoint to its extreme physical gravity. Whether used to elevate a smaller masterpiece or standing alone as a "Ghost Totem," it is a rare example of glass used as a heavy, grounding architectural element rather than a fragile accessory.
