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.

Kepler's Obsession
Art. 162.16


CHF 45.00        each

 

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.

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.
