Magic Cube is a lighting installation for public spaces blending creative interaction with emotional expression. Its design concept stems from a modern interpretation of the philosophy "Round Sky and Square Earth". It provides modern urbanites with an immersive space to find moments of tranquility in their busy lives and experience the harmonious unity of nature and inner peace. Through interactive engagement, they can feel the allure of art while releasing anxiety and stress from within.



Magic Cube's main structure ingeniously combines a metal frame with a circular design, exuding a sleek and modern aesthetic. The smooth, circular halo atop represents completeness and infinity, while the square geometric lines at the bottom symbolize stability and solidity. Simple yet robust internal metal lines further enhance depth and layers. The circular halo atop interacts dynamically with both the internal linear elements and the square base. This not only generates a futuristic yet mysterious atmosphere, but also embodies the philosophical concepts of "Round Sky & Earth Square" and "Unity Between Humans and Nature," striking a balance between modern design and traditional culture.



Visitors sit on the cushion at the center, close their eyes to make wishes, and share their thoughts into the microphone. The lights respond dynamically to vocal intensity—louder voices make the lights rotate faster, transforming their wishes into a galaxy of stars that fills the space. This unique interactive design offers a moment of calm and reflection amidst their fast-paced life, inspiring hope for a brighter future.



Beyond crafting enchanting artistic scenery for spaces like exhibition halls and galleries, Magic Cube adapts effortlessly to urban streets, parks, and other public spaces. It enriches the urban landscape with artistic allure, allowing people to experience the harmonious unity of art and nature during interaction.
