Marble Oloid Geometric Object

An intriguing geometric shape with mathematical and aesthetic properties to amaze. It was discovered in 1929 by German sculptor, inventor and mathematician Paul Schatz. Although curved, an oloid moves in a perfect straight line. As it rolls the whole of it's surface touches the ground, and it's surface area is identical to that of a sphere with the same radius. 

These stunning handmade Oloids are available in either light or dark marble from the Philippines. When buying this product, you're supporting the marble crafts from people on the island of Romblon and Koberwitz 1924, an organisation which aims to bring about a more sustainable future. Each marble Oloid has been individually crafted and features it's own unique pattern and aesthetics. 

  ABOUT THE BRAND    KUBOID

Kuboid GmbH was established by Christoph and Tobias Langscheid in March 2006. The name “cuboid” like the name “oloid” is taken from Paul Schatz. The cuboids are shell shapes of the oloids and are formed during an inversion movement of the cube. 

Their mission is to follow the character of the “cuboid form” in the overall context of the work of Paul Schatz and, in close collaboration with the Paul Schatz Foundation and the Paul Schatz registered company, to convey knowledge of Paul Schatz’s models and their applications.
