Description

Architectmade's Moon sculpture is a precise miniature model of our closest celestial body. Designed by the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), this wooden sculpture is based on NASA's 2021 moon map. Standing on a walnut base, the solid maple sculpture features intricately carved mountains and craters of the moon, with small brass pins marking the landing sites of historic lunar missions.

With the Moon sculpture, Architectmade aimed to create a tangible symbol of humanity's grand dreams and achievements. The palm-sized sculpture serves as a reminder of the power of collaboration, shared goals, and the endless mysteries of the universe. It's a beautiful gift for yourself or someone you wish to inspire to dream big.
