Cat's Eye Marbles

The cat's-eye marble is a small miracle of mass production: a clear glass sphere with a 4-to-6 blade colored vane suspended inside, born in Japanese glassworks and churned out by the millions in American factories from the 1950s on. Light bends through the dome, the vane glows aqua-green, and the whole thing throws a soft round shadow.

This system borrows that honest transparency. Surfaces read like glass — refractive, luminous, cool — and everything floats on a deep teal ground dark enough to let the swirl and its shadow pop. Rounded display type and clustered circular cards keep it tactile and friendly, never slick.

猫眼玻璃弹珠是大规模生产的一个小奇迹：透明玻璃球体里悬着一片由四到六瓣组成的彩色「叶片」。 它最早诞生于日本玻璃作坊，从一九五〇年代起在美国工厂被成百万地生产出来。光线穿过球面折射， 叶片透出水绿色的光，球体在台面上投下一圈柔和的圆影。

这套设计系统借的就是那份诚实的通透。所有表面都像玻璃——会折光、会发亮、带着凉意—— 统统漂浮在足够深的墨绿底色上，好让漩涡的叶片与它的影子都跳出来。圆润的标题字体和成簇的 圆形卡片让整体保持温润可触，绝不冷硬油滑。
