It’s not just art,
it’s personal.
Whether you want to add an interesting piece to your own house or you’re an interior designer looking to finish a new home in style, our kinetic sculptures will be a great element. Kinetic sculptures offer a eye-catching mix of art and physics.
We at Meraki Kinetics carefully design and cut each piece with extreme precision and care before assembling them to test and finish a perfectly balanced kinetic sculpture. This is how they keep going for hours on end after winding. Each sculpture a unique design that is hand-made upon request.
