The world can be divided into two types of people - those whose think the above is a Buckminster Fullerene and those who think it’s a football.

And those who think it’s just an overpriced planter.

Can you believe that L.A. is getting all warm and fuzzy over their changing metal skyline?

I don’t know whether it’s just me, but I kinda get the sense it was written whilst waiting for the microwave to ping or after a night out on the brass razoo.

Then again, we can’t complain if sheet metal is suddenly ‘trendy’.

We got these pictures sent ot us of a pair of elongated bespoke stainless steel planters we fabricated for the Sheraton Hotel down at Heathrow Airport.

Here they are at either side of the foyer as you walk in.

Here’s one of them from the front.

Here’s one from an angle. (Although I’m sure you can see that for yourselves.)

And here’s one from the other side.

I hope these pictures give you some idea of the scale of the things as I don’t know the actual sizes.

Considering stainless steel photographs so appallingly as it tends to show up every single mark and fingerprint, I don’t think the chap who did these has done that bad a job.
