Halo Dark Walnut, Aura Full Edition

Something about SANDSARA connects to a very primal and deep part of our brains.

Maybe it's the perpetually changing patterns drawn in a bed of very fine sand; perhaps it's the surprising move of the sphere that appears to move by magic, or maybe it is knowing that every time you look at it, the pattern will be unique and soon will be gone forever.

It is impossible to ignore whatever that something might be when you walk past it, like looking at the waves crash on the beach or staring into a bonfire. Your mind wanders. Suddenly you are doing nothing but being in the moment. 

The name SANDSARA refers toSamsara, a concept essential to many Eastern religions like Hinduism and Buddhism. It represents the infinite cycle in which everything is born, lives, dies, and is reborn.

It implies all of our actions are connected with the universe. All the things that have happened before have brought us to where we are standing right now. And every action we do today will affect everything else in the future. Everything is chained in a never-ending cycle.

Seeing the sequence of new patterns forming while erasing the previous ones made us think of this beautiful concept that perfectly fits our purpose of creating an experience that lets you take a break, reflect, and restart.

Beautiful inside & out

Don't let the streamlined and subtle design fool you, thanks to the innovative mechanism, SANDSARA is able to move the sphere right into the very edge, thus allowing it to draw large paths that fill 100% of the sand bed. With all of that wasted space gone, we focused on creating an elegant form that immediately catches the attention of everyone who enters the room.

Infinite artworks in one single object

Creating new paths for SANDSARA is incredibly simple. Not only will you be able to choose from over 100 patterns from the ever growing library, but building your own patterns is very easy, as it understands X and Y coordinates (build-your-own feature is coming soon).

Sandsara iOS and Android app also allow you to download new patterns or translate existing polar or .svg ones, which means you will be able to load pretty much any path you want. The possibilities really are endless.

Experiment with motion. Create new trajectories. Enjoy all the designs you can imagine. 

Living art

SANDSARA is not just a captivating piece of art. After spending some time appreciating it, it seems like something greater. Like a new kind of life form creating unique and surprising patterns, always evolving. 

The Aura Effect

The AURA add-on integrates customizable RGB lighting beneath the bed of sand. Taking advantage of a phenomenon known as Frustrated Total Internal Reflection, light is spread evenly throughout the surface, and the whole sand bed appears to be made out of light. Ridges look darker as sand accumulates and the sphere leaves a trail of light anywhere it passes.
