A-Mazing Design

Designed to remove the boundary between space and time for the user, the Marble Maze from Marco Iannicelli is definitely a clever and striking piece of design which would serve as a real talking point in any home or office. Due to the way in which it is designed, any two points that are closest to each other in the maze can be simultaneously separated from each other by the entire length of the maze.

This compelling piece of design aims to illustrate the considerable complexity of the space-time continuum but doing so in a way that makes it understandable and tangible. Labyrinths, traditionally speaking, have no wrong turns and lead around the goal until you finally reach it and that’s something that formed the basis for the design of Marco Iannicelli’s Marble Maze. Expertly conceived and crafted, it’s hard not to be won over by the visual impact of this piece.

The design of Marco Iannicelli’s Marble Maze is is made up of seven concentric rings that are all linked together in such a manner so that there is no end and therefore no beginning. The reason that Iannicelli choose the number seven was due to the fact that it is considered a mystical number but also plays an important role in our psyche and in our daily lives. For example, our lives are focused on a 7-day week, and we have Miller’s number Seven +/- 2 in memory psychology which explains that we can only keep 7 pieces of information simultaneously in our short term memory.
