The art and science inspired project was developed in collaboration with Michelle Currie, artist-in-residence at The Glasgow School of Art Silversmithing and Jewellery Department.

A sensory hub was designed as a spatial environment that is enabling and engaging

with a variety of human senses. It includes large scale interior design components as well as small bespoke table setting elements that contribute to a unique, shared and sensory experience.

In the centre of the hub a sculptural table centrepiece incorporates Michelle’s ferromagnetic experimental work, which combines traditional silversmithing techniques with ferrous liquids and electromagnets to create moving patterns and colours. This technology allows the surface of the table to react to and display the sensory reactions of people as they experience the space around it. Its form aims to celebrate and manifest a notion of social interaction  - inspired by the poetic beauty of magnetic force fields.

The project is currently under development in a concept design stage.
