From the very beginning, this amber kaleidoscope has been designed as an alternative to mass- produced objects to be handcrafted in small quantities by its creator.
The main idea behind the kaleidoscope is its simplicity: both in terms of a visual appearance and the very principle of design and production process. The kaleidoscope consists of a minimum number of components required to achieve a maximum effect. Also, its production process is highly simplified: the core of a branch is hollowed out, all the components are assembled and the kaleidoscope is covered.
This could be considered as the materialization of an idea: minimum outside input and infinity of images inside.
- fast-growing hazel branches have been chosen as the best possible raw material for production of the kaleidoscope and only one piece of stock of the proper length ( for 8-12 items) is cut from one tree;
- the kaleidoscope is crafted by hand, without removing the bark, without using any dyes or impregnation agents (100 % natural);
- kaleidoscopic images are formed by a mini-system of crash proof plastic mirrors therefore the product is light and safe for kids (aged 3 years and above);
- the kaleidoscope contains reused materials: inside of the kaleidoscope, pieces of amber are amber waste created through jewellery manufacturing process (cracked, unusable fragments);
The kaleidoscope is handmade using sustainable resources of energy and nature (fast growing hazel stems and natural Baltic Sea amber).
Height is about - 14 cm, width is about - 3-4 cm.
This is the original designer's work from natural materials (every single kaleidoscope is a little bit diferent).
