Lightweight Metal Die

The 'Hollow Dice' is Only 1.5 Grams in Weight

— February 15, 2017 — Unique
This is one unique die, and it is called just that: 'Hollow Dice.'

The Hollow Dice was created by a young architect and designer and is made of anodized aluminum to be used both as a tabletop dice or as a luxury decorative object. It is revolutionary because it weighs only 1.5g and it’s completely empty on the inside. It also comes in multiple colors for different tabletop games, or purposes.

The main structure, the outers skeleton has one simple purpose: to hold the pips that will show the exact numbers you’ve rolled. It will add a touch of grace to your game both literally and metaphorically.

Each unit takes approximately 170 minutes to craft, and the process requires attention to details, and plenty of resources. But the end result is nothing short of amazing.
