Three of the stainless steel balls in Image], outside Piccolino’s restaurant. The spheres, of which are there are nine in total, are water features designed the feature to symbolise the steel, craftsmanship, stonework and water which are symbolic of Sheffield’s industrial heritage. The Piece is called ‘Rain’ and is designed to evoke the falling of rain drops upon the ground, with the small pools at the base of each steel ball creating the ripple effect.
