Floating Elegance is a handcrafted wall sculpture that captures the essence of early aviation through a balanced interplay of steel and light. The design features a vintage photograph of the R-100 – the historic British airship designed by engineer and inventor Barnes Wallis. Representing an era when engineering and functional beauty were closely aligned, this ambitious flying machine is reimagined as a contemporary art object, serving as a subtle tribute to human ingenuity.
The sculpture is engineered to interact naturally with ambient light, allowing the airship to appear suspended within the structure. This translucent effect is achieved by using a vintage photograph of the R-100 printed directly onto a transparent acetate sheet, which is then secured and protected behind high-quality acrylic glass. This print is housed within a geometric frame constructed from steel bars. As the light changes throughout the day, the structural metal lines project crisp, shifting shadows through the transparent layer and onto the wall, transforming the historical image into a three-dimensional experience and a natural focal point for the room.
Reflecting true handmade integrity, each piece is crafted and assembled in Spain within the Artandshadow studio in Granada. The frames are built from durable steel bars, welded by us, and finished with a distinct silver iron sheen. Because every sculpture is built individually by Furst_Ori, each one carries subtle variations that give it an individual character and a lasting material value.
This original design interior object offers versatile display options, arriving ready to be wall-mounted or placed as free-standing desktop art decor on a shelf or desk. It is well-suited for modern interiors, minimalist spaces, and executive office decor, providing architects, interior designers, and collectors with a refined combination of industrial art and aviation history.

Product Safety & Compliance Information
Legal Notice & Artistic Nature
This is an original, handmade work of art, produced in a
limited series and intended for collectors and decorative display purposes
only. In the interest of full transparency and the safety of our collectors, we
provide the following information regarding the correct handling and
preservation of the artwork.
Intended Use & Environment
- Indoor
use only. This sculpture is designed exclusively for indoor decorative
display. Exposure to outdoor conditions — including rain, moisture, frost,
or high humidity — will cause corrosion of the metal components and
degradation of the acrylic elements. - Not
a toy. This is a professional artwork and is not intended for children.
Please keep it out of reach of children and pets at all times.
Material Hazards & Handling
- Metal
components may include intentional sharp edges, points, or delicate
structural details inherent to the artistic design. Handle with care
during unboxing and placement to avoid injury or damage to the piece. - Acrylic
elements should not be subjected to excessive pressure or impact, as they
may crack or detach from the metal frame. - Stability:
Place the sculpture on a flat, stable, and sturdy surface capable of
supporting its weight. Avoid high-traffic areas where it could be
accidentally knocked over.
Maintenance & Care
- Cleaning:
Use only a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Never use alcohol, chemical
solvents, or abrasive products — these will permanently cloud, scratch, or
crack the acrylic surface. - Heat
& light: Keep away from open flames, candles, and direct high-heat
sources. Prolonged exposure to intense heat or direct sunlight may warp or
discolour the acrylic components.
