Details
These sumptuous kinetic sculptures feel like magical artifacts worthy of a modern shaman. German artist Jack Mankiewicz has elevated the classic "wobble-stone" or "rattle-back" to a poetic level of aesthetic perfection. Spin the sleek ellipsoid in the wrong direction and it mysteriously stops, rocks, and begins spinning the other way as if guided by unseen hands… Lovingly carved and polished from exotic wood over the course of several days, the surface of each Chembongo is as smooth as glass and the lines of the form are universally pleasing to the eye. A treasure for the knowledgeable collector of oddities.
Heirloom quality craftsmanship. Available in two sizes in varying shapes and woods - distributed at random. Made in Germany.
Shipping & Returns
Our products ship through a privately owned climate-controlled warehouse in San Diego, California.
We offer a variety of shipping methods from budget-friendly to price-doesn’t-matter. You can compare estimated costs and transit times once you begin the checkout process and enter your shipping address. Carrier options may vary based on your destination.
We strive to pack and ship all items within 24 hours of each order (Monday through Friday). However, we are a small team so during peak holiday season we kindly ask that you allow 3-5 days for your items to be sent on their way. Every box shipped from Art of Play is expertly packed by actual human beings (you can see their names written on your package slip). Everyone in our warehouse is paid a fair wage and treated with respect.
Return Policy
We will gladly offer a refund or store credit in exchange for any items returned within 30 days of the original order, as long as the items are still sealed in new condition. We cannot accept returns of opened or used items. Return shipping is the responsibility of the customer.
