Skanto | Gravity Defying Kinetic Desk Toy

Witness the mind-bending optical illusion of suspended spheres caught in a fluid spiral. Can your eyes trick your brain?

Fascinating kinetic desk toy

Intricate metallic form designed to twist your mind with a gravity-defying optical illusion. Spin it and witness the magic before your eyes.

A seemingly floating sphere trapped inside a continuously flowing helix. 

We have been designing desk toys for the past 7 years, distributing them to over 50,000 backers worldwide. Yet, the reactions that have been triggered have been unparalleled in our experience.

the "wow" factor

obliterates curiosity, raises questions, and lets your imagination fly.

The most frequently asked questions are "HOW!?" or "WHAT IS THE SECRET?" and the speculations have been imaginative: from "Invisible Threads," "Magnets," to "Electronic Magic," "Levitation Magic," and more! 😄

but how exactly?

A good magician never reveals their secrets! We will leave this aspect up to you to fully uncover once you receive it. 

What we can share, however, is that it contains no magnetic or electrical components. It is an entirely mechanical device, and its illusion is achieved through a distinct, carefully crafted shape combined with kinetic motion.

why should I own 

The main answer is simple - place it on your desk, and you will have the coolest room in your office. Additionally, you will own the power to put your mind into focus mode anytime you spin it. 

But of course, there are more reasons to own it, and below is our complete list:

But don't just take our word for it - see what our past backers say about our products

explore kinetic motion

Spin it, and it will transform into a dynamic sculpture that changes its patterns according to the direction and speed of rotation.  

Explore how a precisely engineered stationary form transforms into a hypnotic optical illusion.

Different speeds ensure different effects

is a multi-shaped object, so you will see different optical effects depending on the distance, angles, and rotation speed. Take a look at the comparison between rotation speeds below. 

the complexity of (or how it's made)

is undoubtedly our most complex desk toy yet. To achieve such a unique visual appearance required months of prototyping and experimenting with different types of shapes and materials. The production process requires dedication and true precision, but it is well worth it. is CNC-machined from the highest quality metals and consists of 8 different parts precisely assembled together. 

With our CNC machines, we are able to achieve a level of precision rarely found in ordinary everyday objects. You will immediately notice minutely milled lines and smooth surface texture upon first contact! 

The body of is machined from aerospace-grade aluminum which is anodized to achieve the beautiful colors and to add better scratch resistance. The spheres are machined from stainless steel, mirror-polished, and PVD-coated to get the stunning colors.

Additionally, you will be able to get extra mirror spheres to mix and match all possible colors. These will be available after the project is finished as well.
