What Makes It Uncommon

Your spreadsheets may be impressive, but here’s how to really captivate everyone at work: keep Klaus Bosch's moving sand art on your desk. We placed our first order of this eye-catching marvel on January 10, 2008 and it has been beloved by our customers ever since. Some say it's "...the coolest most mesmerizing desktop gift ever," and others tell us, "It's so easy to get lost in the ever-changing artistic formations." Take a magical mental vacation right at your desk...or anywhere you'd like to slip away to serenity.

  • Delicate drifts of light, dark, and glittery golden sand shift into deserts, mountains, clouds, rain, oceans, and smoke, all ebbing and flowing into one another.
  • Rotate or flip the glass window to create a new scene—no two will ever be the same.
  • 10.5" H x 10" diameter.
  • Handmade in Austria.

MESMERIZING

This was a Christmas gift, but I was there when he opened it, neither of us could take our eyes off of it.


My wife loved this Christmas Gift

This was an excellent gift for my wife. It is an uncommon gift. Just turning the frame creates a new and immediate work of art.


Overpriced

It's nice, but definitely overpriced.

Beautiful, Functional, Meditative Piece

I love this thing. When work gets overwhelming, I'm immediately calmed by flipping this Sand Art piece and meditatively watching a new landscape form before my eyes. It fits comfortably and unobtrusively on my desk; it's the perfect size to draw the eye without taking up too much space. The feature of adjusting how much air/resistance is within the piece to change the rate of sand flow makes using and watching this Sand Art infinitely interesting to me. It's well-designed and exactly as advertised/as it appears in the product video! My coworkers are also obsessed. Unfortunately, someone managed to drop it by accident a few weeks ago and slightly fractured the glass; without hesitation, I bought a replacement. The price is totally right on this bad boy, especially if you're partial to perpetual motion machines like I am; it's cooler than a lava lamp and better than a fountain.


Form and Function

I bought this as a present for a family. It's beautiful and functions really well. Originally, it arrived broken. I called and they sent a replacement out immediately. I was also happy that they told me to throw away the broken item, they didn't want anyone getting hurt.


Soothing and Intriguing

I bought this as a birthday gift for my daughter. She has given me rave reviews as to how she enjoys it. She took it to work and uses it as needed with her mental health clients.


Beautiful

Purchased this as a gift for friends we went to the beach with as a thank you. They absolutely love it!


I purchased this item for my self also i give for Gifts

It displays all different types of Images, Like the clouds in the sky do! I Love the different colors that intertwine. When I give it for gifts they Love it and every time they turn it upside down and see the sand make all drifferent images they think of me. It's very therapeutic . I Love it !!


Fascinating Artwork

I bought this gift as a Christmas gift for a family member. I was having a hard time trying to decide what would be the perfect gift for this very artistic person. I thought this was different and could be a fun addition to her art studio. When she opened the gift her eyes lit up, she loved it! It became the hit of the Christmas gift giving season. Everyone would walk by and give it a "turn" changing the landscape of the display and then describing what it looked like to them. It was so much fun, another family member wanted one. Great gift and great quality. Highly Recommend!


loved it, so beautiful

I bought this as a gift but opened it to take a peak for myself as I have eyed this item for some time in the Uncommon Goods catalog. I opened it and played with it and absolutely fell in love with it. Almost kept it...(lol) but ended up giving it as a gift to a loved one. I thought it was beautiful, fun to play with, great as a desk conversation piece. Priced right, well done with the colors inside. Interesting to watch over and over again.

Looking to put this on my window ledge in my office, what is the depth?

Verified reply from Lelio

Great question! The depth is 2".


My therapist has a round sand art in the office and I love it because it takes an hour to drop the sand. How long does the deep sea sand art round take to drop?

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! The flow time is anywhere from 15 min- 2 Hours.


I like the round deep sea sand art but would like a light wood or white outer part. Is that possible?

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! It isn't possible to request a different color frame at this time, however you can view all the sand art we offer here: https://www.uncommongoods.com/search?q=sand%20art


i need instructions on how to add sand and water to deep sea sand art unit i bought

Verified reply from Colleen

Here is a link to a pdf of the instructions https://www.uncommongoods.com/pdf/19589-2.pdf.


How much does it weigh?

Verified reply from Melody

The Deep Sea Sand Art weighs 4.10 pounds.


Hi, The two pictures don't look the same in color, in one picture it looks like the sand has different color scheme than in the video and in the other picture. So what colors is it and is there a possibility to choose from certain color schemes? thanks

Verified reply from Allison

The sand color changes when placed against different wall color backgrounds.


My son received the sand art piece for Christmas - just over 3 months ago. Each time he withdraws a bit of air, the bubble seems to increase in size over the next couple days. Is it possible to remove too much air and create too much vacuum?

Verified reply from Allison

Adding too much water or taking out too much air could create a pressure problem inside the sand picture and the glass could break. After adding the water and before removing the injector pull out the same amount of air out of the picture as you added water.


What is the outside frame and the stand made of? Wood? Rubber? Plastic?

Verified reply from Alice

The outside is made of self-healing silicone, and it sits in a wooden base.


If left for six months at our other home, what happens to the art sand? Is it hard to maintain?

Verified reply from SiRandal
