| Sphere 2003 |
The Fünf Höfe opened in 2003 and is considered one of the most stylish Munich's shopping spots, located right in the city heart. The Fünf Höfe is literally an area of five connected courtyards. Every section has its own character. The inner walls are made of steel and glass whereas the façade walls mantain the original 19th century stone. In one area there are real giant ivy plants - over 10 meters long - hanging from the ceiling among the lamps.
There also art works such as Sphere 2003 is a sculpture by artist Olafur Eliasson. The sculpture is a huge ball suspended above the center of the courtyard. It is made of a dense network of highly polished stainless steel strips, layered in a spiral. Its smooth surface reflects the day light making the ball changes color slightly according to the weather and time of day.
