Bauhaus Optical Color Mixer – The fascination of color theory
The optical color mixer brings the principles of optics and color theory to life in a playful way. As the wooden spinning top rotates, the individual colors on the seven interchangeable cardboard discs blend into entirely new shades before the viewer's eyes. From the renowned color wheels of Goethe and Schopenhauer to Hölzel, different historical color models can be directly observed and compared. The backs of the discs offer insightful details about each visual effect – a masterful fusion of physics, art, and design history.
