The Gömböc is the first known convex, homogeneous object with just two static equilibrium points. In the meantime, more than 150 individual pieces have been produced, most of which are on permanent exhibit at renowned institutions. We are honored to have G1410 on permanent display in the library of the Jungfraujoch Research Station. The number 1410 points to October 14th of the year 1922, the day the Swiss Government commissioned the “Schweizerische Naturforschende Gesellschaft” to establish the Jungfraujoch Commission to realise a high-altitude research station in this alpine environment.
