What is this thing?

I have no idea, but I used to pass it every day in the stairwell en route to and from my second-floor office at GSD&M.

(I now office on the first floor, so I miss seeing it.)

For years, I’ve meant to ask our building manager what it was and what function it served, but I have yet to get around to doing that.

And, truth be told, I kind of enjoy not knowing.

I also enjoy just pondering this thingamajig – in all its intricate, colorful, whimsical, modern beauty.

Like many things in life, I suppose, I don’t have to understand it to appreciate it.

It’s cool.

It inspires me.

I like it.
