A desk toy earns its footprint or it turns into a dust trap, and most of them stop moving about four seconds after you touch them. This one is a steel Newton's cradle, 3.5 in (9 cm) across, where the end ball hands its momentum down the line and gets it back again.

  • Steel balls on a steel frame
  • 3.5 x 3 x 3.5 in (9 x 7.5 x 9 cm)
  • Lift an end ball about 60 degrees off center and let it go
  • Small enough to sit beside a monitor stand rather than in front of it

Size

3.5 x 3 x 3.5 in (9 x 7.5 x 9 cm), roughly the footprint of a coffee mug. That is the whole appeal of a small one: it fits in the gap on a desk that is already full, next to the pen cup rather than instead of it.

Good to know

It demonstrates momentum, it does not defeat friction. The swing decays, the balls drift out of line after a minute or two, and you reset it with one finger. It also clacks, which is the point at your own desk and considerably less charming two feet from a colleague.

About us

Welcome to HollowMade. We hunt for the pieces that make a room worth walking into: vessels, lighting and sculpture, picked one at a time and kept on our own shelves.

Chosen, not listed - Every piece is handled and checked before it ships. If it would not earn a place in our own home, it does not make the catalogue.

Fair prices, quietly - We keep the range tight and the margins honest, so a good object costs what it should and reaches your door wherever you are.

A person on the other end - Write to us and someone reads it. Before the order, after the order, either way.
