The Ideas behind Ivan Black's Square Wave
SQUARE WAVE - THE MIND-BENDING KINETIC SPINNER THAT MESMERIZED THE WORLD
Square Wave is the first creation born out of a collaboration between sculptor Ivan Black and Atellani. Our idea was to spread some fun to our Kickstarter audience with a more affordable but yet fascinating and unique piece of kinetic art sculpture. Our Square Wave crowdfunding project a became worldwide success after being funded in 2019 on Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

THE SCULPTURE
Designed in the UK and handmade in Italy, Square Wave is available in many dazzling colors to choose from. Each one creates unique mesmerizing reflections and three diverse optical illusions. While it spins, Square Wave generates a series of mind-bending optical illusions and unexpected hypnotizing revolutions, that mesmerized our eyes! Square Wave is 100% handcrafted in Italy by artisans with decades of experience in metal machining. Each Square Wave is meticulously designed to create a smooth and fluid motion. Each Square Wave is tested manually and is made of high-quality, chrome-plated steel. All our sculptures are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
