The Carrera marble run was conceived by Laurids Gallée and Studio Narra, made of tubular steel and produced by independent design brand Objects with Narratives
The Carrera Marble Run is the latest project presented by independent design platform Objects With Narratives. A hybrid concept somewhere between a design gallery and a shop, Objects With Narratives was founded by Robbe Vandewyngaerde, Nik Vandewyngaerde and Oskar Eryatmaz, merging backgrounds in engineering, architecture and finance to create a unique curatorial concept for commissioning and selling design.
The playful design is made of tubular steel, making continuous loops and ascending steeply from the floor to the upper level. Imagined as a hybrid between a toy and a coffee table, its creators encourage play while stressing that it can be used in any way one desires. ‘About a hundred years ago, the bending of steel tubes was first introduced into the world of design,’ note the designers. ‘Today we can hardly imagine this world without furniture made from tubular steel.
The marble run follows this approach of playing with materials: ‘Our idea started by creating a gesture that would capture a three-dimensional pattern. As if the steel becomes a viscous substance; solidified into a dynamic piece, seemingly in constant motion,’ continue the designers. ‘The pattern is generated from diverse light-and colours situations of its environment. The object is made from polished steel tubes precisely bent by hand.

Jarren Duran went 5 for 5 with four doubles and Rafael Devers reached base five times and drove in two for the Red Sox. Boston has won three straight following a season-long five-game losing streak.
