More about Shashibo Blue Crystal — Gartel Art Series
Blue Crystal comes from the series with artist Laurence Gartel, and it leans into a cool, glassy feeling that fits a calm workspace. On the DODECA cube the design breaks apart and recombines with every fold, so a fresh arrangement appears each time you twist. With more than 100 shapes available, there is plenty of room to explore before anything starts to feel familiar.
Thirty-six ultra strong magnets keep it tight in the hand, and it moves silently, which helps in classrooms and shared offices. Ages 8 and up can play. If you are collecting the Gartel series, Blue Crystal makes a nice cool counterpoint to Technicolor, and the cubes connect magnetically for display pieces that look like small gallery sculptures.
How it compares on this shelf
Shashibo Blue Crystal is the cool, glassy entry in Laurence Gartel's series. Shashibo Technicolor from the same artist pushes saturation all the way up, and Shashibo Stained Glass splits its art into mosaic panels; Blue Crystal keeps to one restrained palette that suits a quiet office or study. All four Gartel cubes share the 36-magnet DODECA and the same price, so Blue Crystal is the one to choose if you want the artist's work without the volume.
Questions about Shashibo Blue Crystal — Gartel Art Series
Who is Laurence Gartel?
He is the artist behind the Gartel Art Series, produced with Art Worx. Blue Crystal is one of four designs from that series in this catalog.
Is Blue Crystal calm enough for a work desk?
Yes — its cool, single-color mood is the most restrained of the Gartel cubes, and Shashibo play is silent, so it works in shared offices and classrooms.

Yes. Connect Blue Crystal with Technicolor, Water Color and Stained Glass through the outer magnets for a small gallery-style sculpture, and its cool tones will balance the brighter pieces.
