Summary:

"This monograph, rich in images and easy-to-understand shows how today, more than ever, the timelessly beautiful oloid serves as a source of inspiration and a functional element. In 1929, the sculptor, inventor and researcher Paul Schatz (1898-1971) discovered this geometric form. Schatz' lifework was characterized by this fundamentally new body, which emerged from movement, for which he sought and found new and pioneering applications for a number of decades" -- amazon.com.
