What Makes It Uncommon

Shifting Sands

Ever changing, this sand art is an awesome microcosm of natural elements and landscapes. Give the frame a gentle tilt or a more extreme angle and watch as the flow and speed of the falling sands form tiny deserts, mountains, clouds, rain, oceans and smoke, all ebbing and flowing into one another.

There is an eternal and yet fleeting quality about this interactive art, and the sparkling sand will mesmerize as it becomes a tiny primordial universe right there on your desk. Created by Klaus Bosch and handmade in Austria, this inventive artwork will bring a calming, natural presence and a sense of wonder to your office or home.

Available in Black Beech Wood or Natural Beech Wood - sold separately.

And click here for instructions.

Includes a small syringe with needle for adding and removing water and air, which helps regulate and maintain the device and makes sand flow more slowly or more quickly. Regulation, which is rarely required, should be done by adults only. Instructions included.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Perfect for professionals

Purchased as a thank you / birthday gift. Recipient was appreciative overjoyed and in awe of the simple beauty


Great idea but wish it didn't require such frequent tweaking

My Dad and I Love looking at the movement and completed pictures it creates. Not happy with the frequency of having to adjust the amount of air necessary for it to work properly.


Perfect gift gone bad

My son loved this gift until it lost water and was less interesting

Guaranteed Satisfaction

Great desktop addition for the new WFH office or on-site.


Relaxing

Great looking piece to put on your mantle. It's relaxing and meditative.


So great I bought it twice!

This is used on a desktop and played with constantly. It is just plain fun.


Very pleased

It arrived very nicely packaged so it wasn't harmed by shipping at all (I get nervous about that with anything expensive/fragile!), and looks great. At first the sand was falling flat, there were no visible air bubbles at all - which matches what it says in directions to expect; so I followed instructions to add air and that was easy, now it's working well. Blue/gray shades with a little bit of glittery gold colored sand mixed in - subtle but pretty colors.


The perfect gift

My siblings and I gave this as a gift to my grandma and she loves it. She's been sending us pictures whenever the sand makes an especially beautiful pattern, and now I want one too!


Beautiful

Good to mo e eyes from. Computer screen


Sand Windows are a special gift and are enjoyed at any age

My son has placed it on a counter in his apartment and it has become quite the focal point when he entertains.

are there different colored sands for some of the pieces

Verified reply from Peter

Each piece does contain a unique blend of white, brown, black and gray sands which also combine to form a variety of hues.The artist for this piece goes to great lengths to find the right combinations for each work.

Reply from Fancy

I ordered the light wood frame and the sand colors are all in the light brown, beige, with some rust colored flecks, color spectrum

Reply from rob

Yes. The one I bought has at least 3 different colors of sand.

Reply from DEBCHICK
