Sculpture

A particularly handmade design sculpture in cast iron, executed as a tall ladder with two abstractly shaped human figures. At the bottom is a figure climbing the ladder, while the second figure has taken a seat at the top. The composition gives the sculpture a strong symbolic resonance and can be interpreted as an imagination of ambition, development, perseverance, success and reaching new heights. The elongated form and minimalist human figures give the work a contemporary and architectural character. Precisely through the open construction of the ladder the silhouette changes when the sculpture is viewed from different angles. The entire object is made of cast iron and has a deep dark finish. The subtle texture of the material remains visible and emphasizes the handmade character. Small irregularities in surface and finish are inherent to the artisanal production process and give each piece character. A striking decorative art object for a modern interior, office, executive chamber, study, or gallery-like environment. Because of the symbolism, it is also a particularly special gift for a new job, promotion, anniversary, or other important milestone.
