These playful forms give a new level of fun and function to the so-called "fridge magnet." In addition to holding paper on metal surfaces and decorating home or office they are the world's simplest yet deepest puzzle.
Solving the puzzle is just the beginning. This model of basic interaction never stops inspiring creativity & insight. Its physical and mental pleasures continue forever.
You don't have to be a puzzle person or a philosopher to enjoy these forms. They are just plain lovable! They bring a smile to the face and joy to the heart. That's the best reason to own them and to give them.
At their most profound they are a major discovery about the true shape of yin and yang, the basic interacting or complementary forces in life. The old symbol (which looked like two fish forms) didn't show how they actually interpenetrate. A "bean" shape represents the concept in a more real and interactive way.
