AcuRite Galileo Thermometer with Glass Globe Barometer
Even after 4 centuries the Galileo Thermometer still brings an enchanting allure that captures everyone’s attention. Colorful bubbles will float up or…
In 2006, tree hunters and hikers Michael Taylor and Chris Atkins discovered what would be the tallest tree in the world—a 379-foot-tall, 600-year-old coast redwood—among a bunch of alike trees in California’s Redwood National Park. Humboldt State University ecologist Stephen Sillett climbed the tree and confirmed its height. It was called Hyperion, after the Titan of the same name in Greek mythology.
Apart from these three people and the park personnel, no one has ever been able to determine or visit Hyperion’s exact whereabouts. It’s kept secret to protect Hyperion from being carved on by visitors.
This giant inspired UK-based artist Clive Roddy to create the Miniature Hyperion Tree.
Though artificial, the Miniature Hyperion Tree is a refreshing addition to interiors devoid of greens. Let a loved one experience its benefits!
Nature-loving family and friends will be thrilled to have it at home. It’ll get your guests talking about it, and they’ll be astounded when they hear about how lofty Hyperion really is! It’s also a valuable find for botanists and plant collectors. Apart from having a better idea of the tree’s height, they can take a break and just gaze at this interesting, fun-size sculpture.
What’s the item made of?
Clive Roddy’s Miniature Hyperion Tree is delicately handcrafted and made of balsa wood, birch plywood, card, foam, and steel. The tree replica, along with a teeny human figurine are both securely attached to the weighted platform before they’re enclosed in a glass case.
How small is it?
This is a 1:826 scale model of Hyperion. Overall, the whole piece is 16 cm high, 4.5 cm wide, and 4.5 cm deep. Its size makes it ideal for display on workspaces, night tables, or shelves!
