The Davran collection of lamps
Two circles. One body. The form is an oloid, built from two circles and the straight lines drawn between them, every line exactly the same length.
Collection story
About the collection
Two circles. One body.
Everything visible in the body is described by two circles and the straight lines running between them. Every one of those lines measures 138.56 mm, and no line is longer or shorter than another.
The shape was described by Paul Schatz in 1929. Its surface measures exactly four times pi times the radius squared, 804 square centimetres. Turned a quarter of a revolution, the lamp reads as a different object.
