Kuwait
The centre piece of the lobby at Radisson SAS Hotel is an amazing 4772 kilogram granite ball floating on a bed of water. So perfectly balanced that it can be rotated with gentlest of pressure, the "KUGEL" is indeed unique.Already assembled before shipment from Germany and weighing a total of 8000 kilograms( or 8 tons) it took 9men over 10hours to transport the ball outside the hotel to its present position, two forklifts moving in tandem assisted the operation.
