Meditative Motion Desk Sculptures

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Uplift's Never-Ending Spiral Design is Powered by the Sun

— May 7, 2018 — Art & Design
It is easy to become overwhelmed with day-to-day activities, but Uplift is a continuous solar desk sculpture that seeks to ease the mind and allow for brief moments of reflection. The product harnesses the positive energy flow, transmitted by the warm sun and thus generates a never-ending spiral motion that is "mesmerizing to watch as it flows and you unwind."

To counter skepticism, Uplifts' developers affirm that their product loves the light and is best suited next to a south-facing window. However, they ensured that the desk sculpture is capable to generate motion even on overcast days with an artificial source of illumination.

The silent desk sculpture is a true example of good and convenient design. With no batteries and minimal maintenance, the meditation-inducing object is sure to relieve stress through perpetual motion.
