Seeing Spheres

Seeing Spheres is a public artwork that turns shared space into a moment of reflection and connection. Five polished, hydroformed steel spheres—each about 15.5 ft (4.7 m) tall and 15.5 ft (4.7 m) in diameter—with inward-facing mirrors framed by LEDs create shifting, tunnel-like views. CIG delivered engineering, materials, production, pre-assembly, and installation support in San Francisco, using hydroforming—immersing faceted steel pieces in high-pressure water—to form perfectly round, smooth shapes.

All and Nothing Tables

Created by renowned designer Ron Arad, All and Nothing Tables is an exhibition of 32 mirror-polished stainless steel tables, each with its own distinctive form. Some stand freely on four legs, while others wrap around corners or are mounted to the wall, encouraging visitors to experience shifting reflections and changing perspectives. As suggested by the exhibition's title, the spaces between the tables are just as important as the objects themselves, allowing presence and absence to become part of the installation.
