The Swinging Sticks - Kinetic Desk Sculpture

May 10, 2010

When you buy through links on this site, I may earn a commission.

Not sure if you caught it or not, but The Swinging Sticks played a prominent role as that cool moving sculpture on the desk of Pepper Potts in the Iron Man 2 movie. This fascinating perpetual motion illusion features gravity-defying sticks that swing, flow, rotate and circle endlessly and silently. This high quality, museum grade decorative art object seems to rotate in contradiction to the laws of physics and creates a relaxing, hypnotic effect. Sure it's pricey, but it's amazing to watch and sure to drive Tony Stark nuts.
