Citric Acid C₆H₈O₇ | Tough Phone Case

CHF 29.00

Scientific description

Citric acid (C₆H₈O₇) is a weak organic acid naturally found in citrus fruits. It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, forming colourless or white crystals that are highly soluble in water. Beyond its everyday presence in nature, citric acid plays a fundamental role in biochemistry as a key intermediate of the Krebs cycle, the metabolic pathway responsible for cellular energy production. This image results from the real crystallization of citric acid observed under polarized light microscopy. The emerging structures evoke plant veins, unfolding wings, and transitional forms. Although formed from a simple chemical compound, the material organizes itself into remarkably complex architectures, reminiscent of patterns more commonly associated with living organisms.

Although formed from a simple chemical compound, the material organizes itself into remarkably complex architectures, reminiscent of patterns more commonly associated with living organisms. Spring of Matter In this artwork, matter appears to enter a phase of renewal. Like spring itself, the structures unfold, branch, and expand. The crystals evoke a metamorphosis, resembling a butterfly or a growing leaf, despite arising solely from the fundamental laws of physics and chemistry. This crystallization gives the impression that matter remembers life through its beautiful organization. It reveals a subtle continuity between the mineral and the biological worlds: the same principles of organization, the same economy of form.

Product Features

  • Dual-layer protective case designed to absorb impacts and protect your phone from everyday drops.

  • Rigid polycarbonate outer shell with high-definition colour printing for exceptional scratch resistance.

  • Flexible TPU inner lining providing enhanced shock absorption.

  • Gloss finish that enhances the depth, colour and crystalline details of the artwork.

  • Raised bezel edges to help protect the screen when placed face down.

  • UV-resistant coating to preserve colour vibrancy over time.

  • Compatible with wireless charging.

  • Precision cutouts for easy access to all buttons, ports and speakers.

  • Two-piece snap-on construction for secure protection and easy installation.

Care Instructions

  • Clean gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth.

  • If necessary, use a small amount of mild soap.

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents or alcohol-based products.

  • Keep away from prolonged exposure to excessive heat.

  • Dry thoroughly before reinstalling after cleaning.
