This mesmerizing spiraling kinetic sculpture helps to de-stress


1/7

There’s something absolutely therapeutic about the way the Uplift 2.0 just ambiently spins on its own, like a fidget-spinner powered by sunlight! The endlessly spinning spiral captures your gaze while spinning at a pace that almost instantly brings your heartbeat down, both focusing you and relaxing you at the same time. The Uplift 2.0 comes powered by a solar-engine, a contact-less rotary drive system with little to no inertia. Place the apparatus on your desk facing a window or under a lamp and the light instantly actuates the engine. The Uplift 2.0 comes with a magnetic wand to help push the spiral to rotate endlessly. You can choose whether you want the spiral to rotate clockwise or in reverse, giving it the impression of traveling either upwards or downwards. Designer Tom Lawton says “There isn’t really a wrong or a right way. Steam rises, whirlwinds and smoke flow upwards — molten lava, waterfalls and whirlpools flow down”. Building on the success of its predecessor, the Uplift 2.0 takes things further with its smooth, translucent blue spiral that comes made from recycled fishing nets. Sitting on a walnut base, under a delicate borosilicate dome, the Uplift 2.0 embodies the essence of purity. It runs on sunlight, repurposes harmful waste into beautiful art, clears the mind, and nourishes the soul with the way it spins in a meditative fashion. Early backers of the Uplift 2.0 even get a flipbook of the Uplift in action printed on recycled paper, allowing you to carry the childlike joy of the spinning toy with you as a reminder to take a deep breath and go with the flow!
