As beautifully exotic as the world's most [stunning coral reef](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-tropical-aquarium), the Oshibe interactive sculpture is a captivating creation. Relying on the senses of sight and sound, it features egg-shaped orbs that can be rearranged, which affects the [different sounds that the sculpture emits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acoustic-sculpture-speaker).

Designed by Tomomi Sayuda, the Oshibe interactive sculpture was inspired by stamen (which is "oshibe" in Japanese). Check out how it works via the video above--it'll make you wish you had one of your own.
