Set of four GeoBender GeoCubes with wall mount. Images (1) single cube, (2) 4 cubes on magnetic square for hanging, (3) cube turned inside out-Can you see the surfers?, (4) star from cube, (5) examples of shapes.

A single GeoCube consists of 12 individual pyramids. Each one is connected on two sides and carries two rare-earth magnets to help stabilize the major structures. There are five (or more) major shapes that will "fall into place" meaning the magnets will pull it together and no hinge is left flexible. As a toy the GeoCube possesses the challenge of a riddle to unlock the different shapes or to find the paths of shortest movement between them. As art it can be left standing or with the supplied base/wall mount, can be displayed as a hanging object. A nice add-on is the possibility to explore the relationship between 2, 3, 4 cubes which in itself is a full set to explore. When putting four GeoCubes together one can discover the unfolding of the cubic crystalline structure, one that is a basic and ever present in nature. To get a full understanding of what is possible with the cubes, see videos: Single Cube Transformation and Four Cube Transformations.
