The Atlas lifting sculpture has a storied namesake. In Greek mythology, Atlas was the Titan god of endurance whom Zeus tasked with holding up the celestial heavens for eternity. The figure supporting the woodblock on this black sculpture has as weighty a job as the mythical hero. With this sculpture, we’ve taken a piece of chamcha wood that would have been one of nature’s castaways and made it into an elemental design statement. Combined with the clean black metal base, the overall style is fitting for a number of interiors, including the contemporary, modern farmhouse, and industrial chic. There are a variety of furnishings and accessories in the Atlas collection that reflect the ethos Phillips Collection personifies: modern organic. We have three decorative sculptures in this series.
