🌀 Orbit – Minimalist Spinner Top
A minimalist spinning top designed around motion, balance, and visual simplicity.
Orbit uses a lightweight internal structure connected to an outer ring. As the top spins, the connectors become less visible and the ring becomes visually emphasized, creating the impression of a floating form.
Simple geometry and balanced proportions make each spin slightly different and interesting to watch.
A sample video is available below.

🧠 Concept
Orbit explores how motion changes perception.
As rotational speed increases, the thin connecting structure becomes less visually dominant while the outer ring remains emphasized.
Rather than relying on complex details, Orbit creates visual interest through movement and simple forms.
Each print behaves slightly differently depending on surface finish, balance, and spin speed.
