There was a day and age when beauty was defined by hand poured silver that was then hammered to perfection by a skilled silversmith. The piece was then given life by an artist who would etch the name of its maker with all the care of a Rembrandt painting.
These days are long gone. However, that does not mean that this kind of craftsmanship can’t still be found. The Sphere by LaCie, is a hard drive design by Christofle. It features the typical high quality 1TB hard drive internals you would expect from a quality company like LaCie.
However, instead of sliding the internals into a boring aluminum rectangle, they took the extra step of contracting a true artist to design and hand craft an external housing any man would be proud to own. To maintain its beauty, the LaCie Sphere does not require the use of a power cord–but having an eye for the bold and elegant comes highly recommended.
