I am a tray, octagonal and still,
But within me flows freedom.
Shifting sand beneath fingers,
Glass and stone to respond to touch,
The untangle, to unwind, to ravel
To escape rush & pause for a moment.

A small-scale echo of our Magnetic Fields 2024’s life-size installation — one with rakes and sand pits to play. A translation compressed to the desk, to bring the experience for everyday.
yet nothing of its essence is lost.

































Colour sand to pour and shift, glass tools for patterns, stone for weight and texture - all set free in motion.

The Octagon Zen Boxes were created as gifting sets, to bring about the enigma of Magfield’s 2024 installation at an accessible scale, to realize that same emotion of play in a desk accessory. We sculpted the tools in metal, glass & stone - allowing users to engage with materials they do not experience in everyday life. But just by playing with them in an open-ended manner, without any rules - it allows one to break out from the routine. It brings the emotion of free play to your desk.

I am sand and stone, glass and metal.
A miniature field of movement and feeling.
Touch me, shift me, rearrange —
And within my octagonal bounds you may find,
A moment of zen for your hands and mind.


A paperclay tray, light as ever, nothing prescribed - every element to invite curious gestures and a gentle discovery of materiality.
