The magnetic hourglass — a glass hourglass containing sand and iron powder, placed on a magnetic wooden base. The magnet integrated into the base plays with the ferrous sand grains, creating ephemeral sculptures with each flip. Hourglass: 14 × 7 cm. Base: 8 × 8 × 2 cm. Hypnotic and unique.
Ephemeral Magnetic Sculpture
The magnet in the base attracts the iron powder in the sand — each flip creates a unique, never-identical sculpture that forms before your eyes in seconds.
Sand + Iron Powder
Mixture of natural sand and iron filings — the ferrous grains respond to the magnetic field, forming characteristic filaments and reliefs.
Magnetic Wooden Base
8 × 8 × 2 cm wooden base with integrated magnet — warm, stable, and elegant. The hourglass rests on it without attachment, ready to be flipped.
Transparent Glass
The glass allows you to observe the formation of the sculptures in real-time — the effect is visible from all angles.
14 × 7 cm — Desk Size
Compact and lightweight — fits on any desk, shelf, or surface. No maintenance required, no batteries.
Unusual Decorative Gift
For lovers of hypnotic objects, decorative curiosities, or beautiful office items — original and memorable.
Magnetic Hourglass — Glass · Iron Powder · Magnetic Wooden Base · 14 × 7 cm · Ephemeral Sculptures
Flip the hourglass. The sand begins to flow — but the iron powder does not fall freely. The magnetic field of the base attracts it, holds it, shapes it into filaments and reliefs that will only exist for the duration of this flow. Each flip produces a different, never-reproducible sculpture. It is the physics of magnetism made visible and ephemeral — an office object unlike any other.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the magnetic hourglass work?
The hourglass contains a mixture of natural sand and iron powder (filings). The wooden base integrates a permanent magnet that attracts the ferrous grains during flow — creating magnetic reliefs and filaments that form a unique ephemeral sculpture with each flip.
Are the sculptures always identical?
No — each flip produces a different sculpture. The final shape depends on the flow rate, the orientation of the hourglass, and the random distribution of sand and iron powder grains. This unpredictable nature is what makes the object so fascinating.
Does it require batteries or power?
No — the base contains a permanent magnet that works indefinitely without power, batteries, or maintenance. Simply flip the hourglass to start the process.
Where should it be placed for optimal effect?
On a desk, shelf, or coffee table, preferably near a natural or directional light source that passes through the glass and reveals the details of the sculpture. Away from strong magnetic fields that could interfere with the base.

Works
Size: 8.5"x11"
Works great for sublimation. Get plenty of sheets. Great value for the price. The paper is pretty thick and seems to hold a good amount of ink without smearing.
