In 1966, the Atomix was originally created as a teaching tool to demonstrate infinite possibility. Francois Dallegret, a pivotal player in the world of architecture and design is known for his philosophy and practice of diverse and ever changing new ideas. Rejecting the idea of resurrecting what is past, Dallegret has never been a part of a movement or style. His approach is that of the free thinker. Once you pick up an Atomix, you will understand where he is coming from. Made from 6000 high precision stainless steel balls, the Atomix is quite beautiful. As a devise, the Atomix becomes as addictive as surfing the web, creating new patterns and interesting movement every time it is turned.
