The Ring, Circular sculpture at Stockholm Central Station, Sweden
The Ring features a seven-meter diameter opening in the ceiling, creating a light source for the lower station hall at Stockholm Central.
Swedish sculptor Stig Blomberg designed and installed this circular artwork in 1959, incorporating figures that represent the four cardinal directions.
Stockholm residents refer to this sculpture as 'spottkoppen', meaning 'the spit cup' in Swedish, making it a recognized meeting point.
The artwork functions as both an illumination source and a central meeting location within Stockholm's main transportation hub.
Four distinct figures emerge from the circular opening, each facing different directions while connecting the upper and lower levels of the station.
