A project by Sbakritecture. All drawings and visual are in courtesy of the Art/Architecture practice, for whom Annabelle used to design.

Drawing inspiration from COS’s connection to playful, modern design, we created an interactive installation based on the childhood memory of marble games. Loop is a series of sinuous and suspended sloped tracks that curve through the gallery creating an array of uniquely kinetic moments as one’s vantage point changes. Using precision engineering, the sculpture is brought to life by a steady hum of white glass marbles gliding along the interwoven tracks. Breaking through the boundaries of the gallery, the track and the marbles continue to the adjoining room to collect into a sea of scattered discarded marbles, inviting guests to explore, contemplate and reflect.

A light and sinuous structure is suspended from the ceiling, creating a gently sloped technical track that moves and curves through the space. A quiet but steady hum of white spheres continually glides down a series of four separate but interwoven tracks, eventually ending their journey simultaneously by disappearing into a funnel- like opening in the plinth. Visitors are invited to add their own marbles onto the tracks, or simply sit and contemplate the exact and mechanical process of the surrounding structure in seemingly perpetual motion. Visitors move along an elevated pathway that floats above the floor, following a long pathway to emerge into a large, brightly lit room. The path becomes a plinth that floats within the room, allowing people to move about and discover the experience unfolding.
