A sphere, even one that is not perfect, is an extraordinary structure that we encounter in our everyday lives, in many ways. Some Ancient Greek philosophers believed a sphere to be the most perfect form.


One interesting product that utilizes a partially spherical form is the iconic Globe Chair.



Nature has used sphere-like forms in many applications.
One example is an egg.

An egg is a place for a growing organism. It is a fragile shelter.

Another are all of the planets and perhaps the stars.

For my purposes, I will focus on our Earth, which is a place for us and all of the things around us. It contains countless things, living and nonliving. It is our place, where we belong, where we were placed.
