This monograph shows how the oloid, a timelessly beautiful geometric body, serves today more than ever as a source of inspiration and functional component in the visual arts and design, in technology and research, in architecture, philosophy, and music.
In 1929, the sculptor, inventor and researcher Paul Schatz (1898–1971) discovered the geometric form of the oloid. Schatz' lifework was characterized by this fundamentally new body, which emerged from movement, for which he sought and found new and pioneering applications for a number of decades. This monograph, rich in images and generally understandable, shows how today, more than ever, the timelessly beautiful oloid serves as a source of inspiration and a functional element.
This is true for the fine arts and design, in technology and research, in architecture, philosophy or music. Close aesthetic references to the contemporaneous sculptures of Naum Gabo, Constantin Brancusi, or Henry Moore are just as surprising as current homages to Paul Schatz by artists such as Ólafur Elíasson. As simple as it is complex, at the same time elegant and powerful, the oloid proves to be a universal body that has not yet revealed all its secrets and potential.

The Paul Schatz Society and the Paul Schatz Foundation have made it their task to disseminate the work of Paul Schatz and to see it as an impulse to engage with his thoughts and intentions both practically and theoretically.
1929 entdeckte der Schweizer Bildhauer, Erfinder und Forscher Paul¿Schatz (1898-1971) die geometrische Form des Oloids.¿Schatz' Lebenswerk war geprägt von diesem fundamental neuen, aus der Bewegung entstandenen Körper, für den er immer neue und wegweisende Anwendungen fand. Diese bildstarke und allgemeinverständliche Monografie zeigt das zeitlos schöne Oloid als Inspirationsquelle und funktionales Element, heute mehr denn je zuvor.
Das gilt für die bildenden Künsten und im Design, in Technik und Forschung, in der Architektur, der Philosophie oder der Musik. Enge ästhetische Bezüge zur Bildhauerei von Zeitgenossen Paul Schatz' wie Naum Gabo, Constantin Brancusi oder Henry Moore überraschen ebenso wie die heutige Hommage auf ihn durch Künstler wie Ólafur Elíasson. Das Oloid erweist sich als universeller Körper, der - so schlicht wie komplex, zugleich elegant und kraftvoll - noch nicht alle seine Geheimnisse und Potenziale offenbart hat.
Mit Beiträgen von Dirk Böttcher, Andreas Chiquet, Heinrich Frontzek, Felix M. Hediger, Gerhard Heid, Tobias Langscheid, Vera Kopppehel, Walter Kugler, Matthias Mochner, Christoph Müller, Oliver Niewiadomski, Beate Oberdorfer und Tilo Richter sowie historischen Texten von Lucius Burckhardt und Paul Schatz.
