Brass Kaleidoscope - Industrial Series - Cast Wheel Mechanism
Brass Kaleidoscope - Industrial Series - Cast Wheel Mechanism
A two-wheel brass kaleidoscope with a cast 8 cm primary wheel and a 4 cm secondary wheel. Both wheels turn by hand on the brass body; the 3-mirror first-surface system multiplies the wheel contents into non-repeating symmetrical patterns. The brass is left with an exposed finish and develops a natural patina over time.
Built in the Studio Yabaye workshop in Israel from brass tube, cut, fitted and hand-finished. Designed by Rocco (Roi) Ramon, licensed architect.
