Sand doesn't count seconds. It soothes gestures, slows thoughts.
This rotating hourglass doesn't just measure time. It gives it shape, makes it visible, almost tangible. Beneath its borosilicate glass, the grains flow slowly, and each movement becomes a silent breath. No noise, no urgency—just an invitation to pause.
Its central axis allows for a fluid 360° rotation, like a gesture of reset. Once turned over, it starts flowing again for 30 minutes of continuous flow. The balance of the suspended glass, the contrast between transparency and gold or silver metal create an object that is both sculptural and soothing.
On a desk, it marks a session of concentration. On a console, it becomes an object of contemplation. It evokes the hourglasses of yesteryear, but in a contemporary, refined, almost meditative version.
