The Sigma Titanium Begleri represent the continued evolution of Aroundsquare's begleri range, and the design underscores just how much subtle differences and refinements can affect the feel and play of a set.
The Sigmas feature generously rounded edges, which makes them extremely comfortable to play, and somewhat springy while retaining enough of a "shelf" at the top of the bead stack to make them easy to manipulate. They are very light, and suitable for extended use, but because of the oblong shape, they carry momentum like a heavier set, and feel heavier than the weight would suggest.
Each bead weighs 3.8g and the set 16.9g including cord. The Natty is machine finished. and blue anodised, all others are PVD.
In their own words aroundsquare (ao2) is guided by the goals of sustainability, democratisation, and social justice. while our work is eclectic, all of it is underpinned by the idea of leveraging creativity and learning for the greater good. in practice, the bulk of our activities are concentrated in the areas of transformative education, monitoring and evaluation, and the design of toys and other materials that support the development of human potential. ao2 is a social enterprise.
Unlike regular businesses which only seek profit, ao2 uses a model that generates profit in addition to furthering social, environmental, and human development goals. aroundsquare is proud to be a part of the new economy.
