Since time immemorial people have been fascinated by the archaic shape of the egg and its structural perfection.
The swinging pendulum is one of nature\u2019s physical phenomena that already offered orientation to the Egyptians.
Watching a pendulum is one of the kinetic experiences with a positive impact on our well-being thanks to its regular and calming motion.
It is this combination of the egg\u2019s harmonious shape and the comforting quality of the pendulum that informed Ingo Maurer\u2019s pendulum \u2013 either in motion or at rest it affords us a new spatial experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
