Sola Cube | Sweetgum | Made in Kyoto

Capture the extraordinary beauty of autumn in perfect, permanent form – with this stunning Sweetgum Sola Cube, made in Kyoto, Japan. A breathtaking botanical specimen, perfectly preserved in crystal-clear resin, bringing the rich colours and fascinating textures of the natural world into your home all year round.

The Specimen

This Sola Cube contains a real, dried American Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) cone – one of nature's most extraordinary and architecturally beautiful seed structures. The Sweetgum is celebrated for its spectacular autumn foliage – its star-shaped leaves turning brilliant shades of red, orange, purple, and gold as the season changes. But it is the tree's remarkable spiky seed ball that makes it truly unique – what appears to be a single cone is in fact a composite of many individual cones fused together into one extraordinary structure. In autumn, the cone dries and opens, releasing its seeds – a quiet, intricate miracle of nature, now preserved forever in resin.

The Sola Cube

Each Sola Cube is a meticulously handcrafted botanical display object, made by skilled artisans in Kyoto – Japan's ancient capital and the heartland of Japanese craft tradition. Real botanical specimens sourced from nature are carefully dried and then perfectly preserved within a flawless cube of crystal-clear resin – suspending them in a moment of pure, timeless beauty. No two cubes are exactly alike.
