In 1929, the sculptor, mathematician and engineer Paul Schatz (1898 – 1979) made the discovery that the five regular, platonic bodies are invertible and moveable. During the rich creative period which followed this discovery, he invented and developed a whole series of new forms, games, machines, furniture and lamps, that all had some connection to the motion principles of inversion. Marine propulsion systems, airships, mixing machines, new appliances for treating water, invertible lamps and packaging are all represented in his wide-ranging work.<\/p>\n
Paul Schatz was committed to the platonic ideal of holism. It was always a matter of great importance to him that the graphics, packaging, measurements and weight, material, texture and finish of his objects all harmonised with each other. He also wanted to make complex mathematical problems more accessible to the general public by means of the beauty of geometric forms and in doing so to appeal to our playful joy of discovery.<\/p>\n
Kuboid GmbH was established by Christoph and Tobias Langscheid in March 2006.
\nThe name \u201ccuboid\u201d like the name \u201coloid\u201d is taken from Paul Schatz. The cuboids are shell shapes of the oloids and are formed during an inversion movement of the cube.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”6245″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1570574382723{padding-right: 6% !important;padding-left: 6% !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1570574750560{padding-top: 1rem !important;padding-right: 6% !important;padding-left: 6% !important;}”]<\/p>\n
