In 1816, Dr. David Brewster from Scotland was the first to arrange mirrors and objects in a tube and call it a kaleidoscope. To this day, the kaleidoscope is a best-selling gift that helps anybody find the beauty of the world. When not generating visual patterns, it is equally comfortable as a desk accessory for writing tools. The weight distribution of its mirrors inside its unibody core makes it incredibly sturdy and balanced. - Assembled without any glue thanks to advanced laser carving technology - which extends lifespan by decades. - Rounded cornered triangle edges on each border are obtained by sanding up to very fine angles. All photos taken through the kaleidoscope have a look that is natural and impossible to mimic with digital filters. - Sanding up to 2200 grit and a natural flaxseed oil finish gives the Wooden Kaleidoscope a silky-smooth feel. - Comes inside handcrafted recycled packaging that looks beautiful on a shelf or on display.
