A machine for contemplating the landscape

Three kaleidoscopes combined into a single device, each offering a distinct perception and a unique optical experience.
One, straight and flared, features a six-sided hexagonal section; the second is angled toward the sky with an octagonal geometry; and the third, in a periscope format, has a square section.

These configurations led to the choice of mirror Dibond® for the reflective surfaces. The exterior parts are made of powder-coated stainless steel sheets, ensuring durability suited to the demanding conditions of a seafront environment.
