Frequently Asked Questions
Does this sculpture come fully assembled, or is it a DIY puzzle kit?
It arrives 100% fully assembled and tuned by skilled woodcraft artisans. Simply unpack it from its protective molded packaging, place it on your desk, and enjoy its motion immediately.
How durable are the wooden linkage joints over daily interaction?
Each moving joint is reinforced with corrosion-resistant internal metal pivot pins set within dense beech wood sockets, ensuring reliable, smooth motion through thousands of wing cycles without loose play.
Is the movement loud enough to disrupt phone calls or meetings?
No. Because it relies entirely on smooth analog wood-on-wood glide rather than electric gearboxes or motors, its motion produces only a subtle, organic wooden murmur that will not register on office microphones.
