Spinning (Desk) Top

This brass spinning top was inspired by Apple’s macOS rainbow wheel wait cursor. Translating this iconic visual from the digital realm liberates the so called “beach ball of death” from the negative connotations of frustration and disfunction. In contrast, the swirling colors of the Spinning (Desk) Top are both soothing and delightful. The uncanny balance of a spinning top encourages us to willfully slow down and enjoy a quiet moment of contemplation. 

Precision turned from solid brass and finished with polished enamel. A satisfying analog totem that stands in charming contrast to the flickering pixels of our daily digital frenzy.
