Product Description
Square Wave Horizon
Is the latest addition to the Kinetrika collection designed by the British artist Ivan Black. Each Horizon is handcrafted by skilled artisans, our sculpture can truly claim to be made in Italy. Each length of its elegant structure disappears into space as it rotates, like a sunset.
AN ORIGINAL IDEA BASED ON MATH – WHAT IS SQUARE WAVE?
Square wave is an original kinetic art piece created by Ivan Black and inspired by Fibonacci’s mathematical sequence, the basic structure that is at the origin of every living thing. Just spin it to get surprised by a series of mind-bending optical illusions, and unexpected hypnotizing revolutions. Square Wave is made up of 24 connected metal rods which curve and mutate unexpectedly with the introduction of energy.
THE MANY WAYS TO ENJOY YOUR HORIZON
Square Wave Horizon comes with a new custom designed stand included that also incorporates state of the art spin handles that allow you to both spin your Square Wave or let it rotate freely while still holding them.
Just change the position of your fingers on the handles to change mode. Square Wave Horizon can also be removed from the stand, so you can always carry it with you.
The custom designed spin handles can be removed from the stand as well and used on Horizon, so they can help you make your kinetic sculpture spin like a pro, at least until you master its subtle and mesmerizing moves.
When attached together, multiple Square Waves become an original and precious decorative element, or a new art sculpture. Horizon is smaller than the classic Square Wave, yet it is extremely versatile.
A stunning kinetic sculpture, a relaxing fidget spinner, a decorative element for your garden, the ultimate executive desk toy. Horizon is handmade in Italy and of 100% high quality stainless steel.
The Horizon collection is a Square Wave inspired, high-end series of kinetic desk sculptures. Horizon is made from a 100% pure stainless-steel often used to produce luxury watches, knives and a number of other high end objects. We wanted to aim for elegance, so we made sure that this new Square Wave was simple, yet iconic, an object that will draw attention and intrigue without distracting guests from the natural beauty of a room. The spinner is also equipped with its own stand, designed by Ivan Black. You can tweak and form your Horizon to get the perfect shape and the stand will flawlessly hold its place.

THE ORIGINS OF SQUARE WAVE – DISCOVERY THE KINETIC WORLD
The word Kinetic finds its origins in the ancient Greek word “kinesis” meaning motion or the act of motion. The definition of kinetic is deceptively simple, because of the history and domain which it has occupied ever since humanity began theorizing about it. Kinetic curiosity became a popular topic thanks to people like the German theorist, philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz and his interest in the likes of Christiaan Huygens and Christopher Wren’s theories. Leibniz would venture on to publish his formulae on kinetic energy distribution, for which he was initially ignored and ridiculed by his peers.
