KINETRIKA

What is a Square Wave?

Square Wave is an elegant mobile sculpture designed by award-winning British artist Ivan Black. It is made by hand by skilled artisans in Italy. It is a beautiful, timeless piece of art that will make any environment feel like home. By interacting with it, the Square Wave can bring you relaxation and improve your focus. It is ethical, quality-oriented and accessible.

Handmade Kinetic Art

Square Wave is a unique piece of kinetic art inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, the basic structure that is the makeup of every living thing. Just spin it to get surprised by a series of mind-bending optical illusions, and unexpected hypnotizing revolutions. Designed in the UK, each Square Wave is handmade and combines iconic natural forms with mathematical formulae. Each bend and curl of the material is precisely calibrated to create a seamlessly integrated mechanism. It is both a stunning sculpture and a soothing, relaxing fidget spinner, ideal to combat stress, or even boost your creativity.

TIMELESS KINETIC ART

How was Square Wave born?

Square Wave is the result of extensive prototyping and iterations. Tiny handmade tweaks and adjustments were made in order to find the smoothest balance between the weight and length of each metal rod. The second step was converting this artisanal method into a replicable process. In order to do so we relied on world class artisans, with decades of experience. Square Wave is assembled by hand, making each one unique. Each and every Square Wave is made in Italy, exclusively EU high quality certified materials and paints.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Ivan Black

Ivan Black (b. 1972) London, is an award winning British sculptor. He began making sculptures at an early age, motion quickly becoming central to his work, adding another dimension of complexity and interest to his experiments.Ivan Black's work uses a series of unique mechanisms to create moving sculptures. Energy is channelled into Black’s works through anything from the interaction of the viewer to the natural power of blowing wind and the targeted use of principles of gravity. When the intended form of energy interacts with the sculpture, it plays out a chain reaction creating shifting patterns of motion from random to highly organised movements-

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR EVERYONE

Mind-bending Illusions

Square Wave is made up of 24 connected metal rods which curve and mutate unexpectedly with the introduction of energy. The repetition of identical elements is precisely calibrated to create complex fluid structures. Each and every Square Wave is crafted and assembled by hand, each metal rod connected to the next by hand. A true work of craftsmanship that patiently creates a work of ar
