Approach
Approach
A comprehensive form study of various spinning tops was carried out to analyze stability, rotational dynamics, and visual aesthetics. Using parametric modeling, we explored multiple variations before finalizing the optimal forms. Each piece was CNC-lathed from solid wood, ensuring precision, weight distribution, and seamless finishing. The final designs were refined to create sculptural yet interactive objects that celebrate motion and craftsmanship.

Our role
We were responsible for conceptualization, digital design, and production coordination, ensuring the final sculptures met both aesthetic and functional expectations. By integrating form exploration, computational design, and precision machining, we delivered a bespoke series of kinetic sculptures that merge art and engineering.
