Armilla
by Lorenzo Truant
Armilla, designed by Lorenzo Truant, is inspired by the very first Renaissance depictions of the motions of stars and planets. At that time, it was customary for people to construct marvellous models called armillary spheres comprising a framework of rings. To begin with, they were centred on Earth, but as time went by and the theories of Copernicus entered the picture, it was replaced with the Sun, an infinite source of light and the new centre of the universe.
