We spent way more time than necessary on taking pictures and a video of this set of spinning tops - even though (or rather: because) it brought the camera to its limit. Designer Heiko Hillig applied minimalistic patterns to the white spinning tops which cause all kinds of optical confusion.
Seen with human eyes the rotating patterns form a fascinating geometry which starts flickering in subtle pastel colours. What these rotating patterns do to the camera lense you can observe in this video:
This set of spinning tops is being manufactured in the south of Germany for the Swiss family-run company Naef which has a long tradition of making high quality wooden toys. The wood is taken from sustainably menaged forests in Europe. The varnish is eco-friendly and no risk for your health.
BEWARE: The spinning top's stick can be removed and can be swallowed. The spinning top can be broken easily. For these reasons it is not suitable for infants and children under the age of 6.
