Bolwoningen Sphere Houses

Being described as living in your own bubble is actually an accurate expression if it just so happens you are a resident of one of the Bolwoningen Sphere Houses in ‘s-Hertogenbosch in Holland, or Piet Blom’s Kubuswoningen in Rotterdam.

‘Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the Stability of

‘Wisdom and Knowledge shall be the Stability of Thy Time’ Isaiah 33:6. Created by American architectural sculptor, Lee Lawrie together with Léon-Victor Solon. The son of an employee at the famed Mintons factory in Stoke on Trent, Solon and the factory’s artistic director, Léon Arnoux, he was credited with bringing Art Nouveau design and Viennese Secessionist designs to the Minton collections. In 1909 he emigrated to America. He specialised in polychroming - “the practice of decorating architectural elements, sculpture, etc., in a variety of colours”. His first commission for the Rockefeller project was the Wisdom, Light and Sound sculpture - it was so well received that he was commissioned to oversee the colour aspect of the whole site. Today we still enjoy his wonderful vision.
