Using glass from ECKELT, the world’s largest glass sculpture has been erected in Detroit, USA. Two enormous glass walls each of dimension 16 x 7.5 meters dominate the imposing view in the entrance of the GM Renaissance Center - the Headquarters of General Motors.
The design for the sculpture was conceived by the British artist Danny Lane. British company "Haran Glass" was responsible for the execution. ECKELT also partnered with Haran Glass on the Selfridges project in Birmingham, UK.
The sculpture received the 2007 Crystal Achievement Award from the renowned US Glass magazine in the Category „most innovative decorative glass application, large company“.
With 95 nominated projects, the design of the English artist Danny Lane was the clear winner seen by the 23 person jury.
