Alive Design Object

Alive Design Object is an innovative biophilic design installation that seamlessly integrates natural movement patterns into architectural spaces, created by Lithuanian designer Marcele Kuliesiute. This dynamic art installation, measuring 1200mm x 1200mm x 100mm, draws inspiration from water as the fundamental source of life, incorporating rhythmic motion to enhance human well-being in urban environments. The installation features a sophisticated mechanical system comprising a silent motor housed within an MDF construction, which animates 2000 precisely engineered plexiglass elements attached to a neoprene surface. This groundbreaking design, which earned the prestigious Golden A' Design Award in the Fine Arts and Art Installation Design category, represents a significant advancement in the application of biophilic design principles to interior spaces. The installation's clockwise circular motion creates a mesmerizing, calming effect that has been scientifically proven to improve productivity, creativity, and overall well-being in public and professional environments. Developed through extensive research into biophilia hypothesis and modern urbanization challenges, this installation addresses the growing need for natural elements in contemporary built environments. The design's technical innovation lies in its ability to maintain silent operation while creating fluid, natural movements, demonstrating exceptional problem-solving in both mechanical engineering and material selection. The installation serves as a remarkable example of how design can bridge the gap between urban spaces and natural environments, offering a sophisticated solution for modern interior spaces seeking to incorporate elements of nature.
