Sisyphus Kinetic Art Table
Sisyphus is both a kinetic art sculpture and a beautifully designed piece of furniture. It works by magnetically pulling a steel ball through sand using a robot (the “Sisbot”). The tracks the ball leaves in the sand field create captivating, intricate, and endlessly changing patterns under a tempered glass table top.

At the heart of Sisyphus is a Wifi-connected two-motor robot which magnetically pulls a steel ball through a field of sand. This is what creates Sisyphus’ beautiful, intricate, and endlessly changing patterns. This quiet machine keeps the experience calming. At average speeds, you can only hear the soft ‘crunching’ of the ball rolling over sand.
