Picture of the monohedron in Limestone White
monohedron in "Limestone White" finish

Material

Biopolymer

The monohedron is made up of PolyLactic Acid, better known as PLA. Unlike most plastics, PLA is a polymer of plant origin, not derived from petroleum: it is biosourced, usually from corn starch, and is therefore known as a “bioplastic” or “biopolymer”. Environmentally-friendly from the outset, it is also biodegradable, in line with the beneficial principles of sustainable development.

Two colors

teinte blanc-calcaire

Limestone White

Limestone White offers a powdery look, almost mineral, that suits all interiors. Its soft, off-white, matte finish sets the monohedron apart from most of the glossy, dull plastics of which everyday objects are usually made. The original!

Blanc Glacier

Le coloris Blanc Glacier est ultra lisse, lustré au regard. L’éclat de sa finition glossy venue du froid réfléchit les rayons lumineux tel un crystal.

Noir Furtif

Le coloris Noir Furtif est un gris anthracite velouté presque noir, au rendu mat. Il est l'antagoniste naturel du Blanc calcaire. Les deux teintes sont souvent choisies ensemble pour former un couple contrasté de monoèdres en rotation opposée.

teinte gris-cosmos

Stellar Black

Stellar Black is a new dark color with a slightly warm hue. Its satin finish enhances this dark monohedron with thousands of reflective micro-speckles, like distant stars in the night sky. Classy!

All colors are integrally dyed.
Color selection is available on the configuration page.

Trois formats au choix

MONO S

monohedron MINI

⌀ 14 cm
(5½" OD)

MONO M

monohedron

⌀ 21 cm
(8¼" OD)

MONO M

monohedron PLUS

⌀ 25.4 cm
(10" OD)

The monohedron is available in three sizes. The original 21cm (5½") model, long the only one of its kind, remains the centerpiece of the catalog: it's a sure bet, equally suited to meditative manipulation or as an object of interior decoration. 21 centimeters is also the radiative wavelength from clouds of atomic hydrogen, the most fundamental component of the universe!

This original classic has been joined by a little brother: monohedron MINI, more economical and easier to take with and handle during meditation sessions due to its more compact shape. This one is less a decorative object than a meditation tool.

Finally, the PLUS model, 70% bigger in volume than the original monohedron, tops the range in a luxurious way. Its majestic presence enhances the furniture on which it is placed. Its aura expands and radiates throughout the whole room where it stands.

Manufacturing details

picto 3dprinter

3D printed

The monohedron is manufactured using the innovative principle of 3D printing technology by depositing successive thin layers of a thermoplastic suitable for this additive manufacturing method. As each layer is only a few hundred microns thick, manufacturing time is fairly long. Each monohedron then requires several stages of manual post-processing, including sanding, waterproofing, and drying.

picto stries

Radial striations

The curved shape of the monohedron well catches ambiant light, creating a play of light and shadow that constantly chase each other and change according to the time of day. A multitude of fine stria radiate along its shell-like surface, further underlining the object's exclusive and original character.

Durable

After careful visual inspection and manual post-processing of its surface finish, each monohedron receives a coat of colorless matte waterproofing post-treatment to protect it from dirt and water splashes.*

Balanced

The internal structure of the monohedron is partially weighted with a dense material located in its lower part. As a consequence, when placed on a piece of furniture, the object stands upright “magically” on its own, despite the seemingly unstable roundness of its base. If you push on it lightly, it oscillates and returns to its upright position by itself, just like these 'Roly-Poly' wobbling toys! This clever solution is not only aesthetically and functionally pleasing, it also adds quality thanks to the additional weight provided by the ballast.

Once the ballast has been inserted and secured inside the object, the base is permanently sealed with a rectangular piece bearing the UNILATER mark, which follows the curved geometry of the object without protruding, flush with the surface. This seal of authenticity is located on the underside of the monohedron and remains invisible when the object is placed on a piece of furniture.

Vibrational harmony

The monohedron is also used by a growing number of practitioners of holistic care, combining Western medicine with ancestral Eastern medicines and traditions, considering that the biological, emotional, psychic and spiritual aspects of each individual are linked into an indiscernible whole. Balanced energy flows are the key to a harmonious mind-body symbiosis that brings good health and well-being.

Many practitioners and their patients report noticeable effects when the monohedron is placed flat on the solar plexus or root chakra while lying on their backs in the quiet of an introspective meditation session: “waves of warmth”, “tingling from head to toe”, “a feeling of fullness”, “clear refocusing and deep opening”, etc.

A subtle energy pattern of morphogenic waves, due to the very particular shape of the spiral geometry, deploys along the axis passing through the center of the structure. Such strong coherence field is emitted from the so-called “dextrorotatory” i.e. right-handed or clockwise version of the monohedron, which structures information and energy flows, producing a refocusing and opening of the chakras on which it is affixed (in particular the root chakra and the solar plexus). A beneficial and rapid effect on mind-body coupling that is confirmed and measured with pulse diagnosis (Chinese pulses or Nadi Pariksha in Ayurvedic medicine) as well as GDV (Gaz Discharge Visualization) camera imaging, a modern evolution of Kirlian photography that enables vital energy flows to be visualized on a screen and measured with sensors, showing the otherwise invisible aura.

For practitioners of mind-bodywork and meditative exercises linked to Eastern philosophies (tai chi, qi gong, yogas...) the monohedron can be customized without the blanking plate at the bottom and with no external marking or internal ballast material whatsoever, so that the geometry remains as pure and regular as possible both externally and internally, thus promoting the beneficial structuring morphogenic wave naturally produced by the object. Please note that without internal ballast and external marking, the monohedron is lighter and does not benefit from the self-balancing stabilization system in the vertical position. Consequently, the unballasted monohedron is intended for meditative manipulation rather than interior decoration. The choice of this option is yours, and is available at no extra cost on the configuration page.

Practical remarks

* A few splashes will be of no consequence. Please note, however, that the monohedron is intended for indoor use and is not suitable for exposure to the elements.

In the event of a stain, wash the monohedron with soap or washing-up liquid while rubbing it with a soft sponge or melamine 'Magic Eraser' then rinse it. Always use cold or lukewarm water (never use hot water! as the monohedron's structure will irreversably warps above 50°C aka 125°F), then wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. The material used does not stand heat but is resistant to most chemicals, including acetone.
