John’s explorations of geometric and synergetic structures led to numerous original designs that he handcrafted and marketed from the mid 1960s through the mid 1970s under the name Omniveral Design. (See images from an old catalog at the bottom of this page.)

Currently producing some of these timeless geometric sculptures again, John is also working together with his wife Jane on many designs in wood that are based on the configurations of wires in these stars.

"They are my favorite thing we sell, my go-to gift to give, and generally a source of joy.  I love seeing little children's faces when they realize the stars can collapse and reopen. Priceless!"

-Anne, Blue Print
