Video: 'Ringo Starr & Kinetic Art - Reuters - 5 May 1971'

(Thursday, May 6, 1971) — Former Beatle Ringo Starr appeared today at a new shop opened by Zarach, an exclusive modern design company, at 183 Sloane Street in London to promote “Another One,” the first piece of Kinetic sculpture he designed with top designer Robin Cruikshank.

Described as a “rich man’s plaything,” the item comprises a “mercury filled object containing zigzagging discs powered by a small motor which sits in the opaque light box underneath and all housed in a transparent perspex case”. The price is £60.

Starr and Cruikshank would officially form the furniture Design Company Ringo O’ Robin Ltd. in Sept. 1971.
