CMY Cubes The Aether

The one of a kind Aether is a beautiful octahedron made up of two four-sided pyramids that meet at the base. It is one of the five Platonic solids and represents cosmic balance. It is one of the 5 Platonic solids.

Discover the mesmerising world of colour, light and geometry with CMY Cubes – The Aether. This beautiful translucent octahedron transforms light and colour into a fascinating hands-on experience that encourages curiosity, exploration and discovery.

The Aether is made from two four-sided pyramids joined at their base, creating an octahedron, one of the five Platonic solids. As you rotate the shape and change the angle of the light, the cyan, magenta and yellow colours blend and merge to create constantly changing combinations.

Hold The Aether up to a sunny window and watch the light shine through its geometric form, or use it in front of a light source in a darker room to project beautiful colours onto walls and surfaces.
