Most of Armin Kolb's work revolved in
the truest sense of the words around one small phenomenon: the
spinning top.
For him, a spinning top is not just a simple
children's toy, it rather has the status of an art object, composed
of individual elements and thereby forming a whole. In regard
to the different materials and shapes, these elements be combined in
countless ways.
In doing so, over the years a wide
variety of spinning tops emerged. Some offer subtle and distinct
forms, are almost minimalistic, others again act pompous with
elaborate filigree profiles.
However, his spinning tops don't
reflect any trend. They are results of snaphots, which may vary
depending on the situation. In addition to exclusive one of a kind works, he also manufactures spinning tops in small series - also for companies and institutions as promotional gifts.
