Galileo Thermometer:

Where Timeless Science Meets Modern Art

The Marriage of Science and Art

Based on the principles of buoyancy and density discovered by Galileo Galilei, this thermometer provides a fascinating look at physics in action. As the temperature changes, the density of the liquid shifts, causing the hand-blown glass globes to rise or fall. It’s a “living” demonstration of science that never fails to intrigue.

Sand Timer

It’s not just a timer; it’s a sculptural piece that complements modern, minimalist, or Nordic interior styles.

  • The “Slow Living” Philosophy: In a world of digital distractions, the physical flow of sand promotes mindfulness. It helps users “see” time passing in a soothing, graceful way.
  • Stress Relief & Focus: Watching the sand transition through multiple sections provides a “visual rhythm” that helps reduce anxiety and improve focus during work or meditation.

Solar Radidmeter

A. 100% Solar Powered (Eco-Friendly)The most significant selling point is its autonomy. It requires no batteries, no charging cords, and no electricity. It is powered entirely by light (sunlight or incandescent light), making it a perfect symbol for renewable energy and sustainability.

B. Sophisticated Glass Craftsmanship Most radiometers are hand-blown from high-quality glass. Its delicate, vintage “apothecary” look fits perfectly with various interior styles—from modern minimalist desks to classic Victorian bookshelves.

SAND PICTURE
