Schatz cube Art. 27.10 CHF 90.00 each |
Objects
designed by Paul Schatz open up the secrets of space. Especially with a
cube, the most well known object of our time, the inventor and explorer
demonstrates, how rich the unknown can be. Guided by the idea that every
firm object contains within it the rules of movement and the potential of
being turned over, Paul Schatz developed new concepts of space and a wide
range of structures. |

16th century astronomer Johannes Kepler believed that the five regular
solids determined the layout of the known universe. Although he later proved
himself wrong, today astrophysicists theorize that our universe may indeed
be “shaped” like a dodecahedron! The most beautiful and efficient nesting of
the five Platonic solids, this model progresses from a blue icosahedron (in
the center) to a turquoise octahedron to a green tetrahedron to a yellow
cube to a red dodecahedron. Since Zome regular polyhedra are normally
“Blues” or “Greens,” you get some very rare struts in this kit, such as
turquoise “Green” lines and red and yellow “Blue” lines. Includes 158 parts and colourful instructions Dimensions case: Ø 9 cm, hight 21 cm |

Cubis X Art. 245.01 CHF 48.00 each |
Plato believed the cube to be the original form of all that is solid. The
hand-made Cubis X, however, is not all that solid. On the contrary, it can
be transformed in amazing ways. The cube is divided into 12 tetrahedrons
and allows you to make more than 200 amazing variations. Ranging from the
triple maraldic pyramid to a doubling of the volume by turning it over
completely into a rhomboid dodecahedron. Cubus X trains spatial
visualization and provides a good grounding for understanding geometry.
