The Cyanokites are a suite of five paper kites in the colours of the sky.
The kites are an interpretation of the Cyanometer, an invention of the Swiss scientist and alpinist Horace Bénédict De Saussure to measure the blueness of the sky, the kites are a cyanometer in flight.
The kite spindle is a cyanometer with 52 values of blue.
Adapted from the traditional Indian fighter kite, the Patang, the kites are a collaboration with the craftsman and traditions of Rajasthan and Gujarat with a design focus on sustainability.
