‘take a break’ spinning tops by ruben van der scheer are unique little objects that make you think and make you play.

dutch craftman and designer ruben van der scheer masters the art of woodturning. a simple spinning top is maybe the most obvious and characteristic piece one can make by woodturning.
These spinning tops are still attached to a pedestal so they will not spin… unless you break them.

so
take a break.
give it to someone who deserves a break.
start breaking rules.
break up with your boyfriend.
break with the past

and start spinning!

prices vary according to size and color. all spinning tops have a felt bottom and the gold version is covered with untreated gold leaf.
they are all one-offs. the one you select is the one you will receive.
