Troika is a London based studio founded by Eva Rucki, Conny Freyer and Sebastien Noel and it was started in 2003. The group is known for cross-disiplinary approach and a combination of sculpture, architecture and contemporary installation. Their pieces commonly feature modular components that combine to create a large installation, taking advantage of technology within their projects, Troika have developed some amazing pieces.
Falling Light is one of the my favourite pieces by Troika, using 50 ceiling suspended mechanisms the piece simulates rain drops falling into a puddle but instead uses light and the gallery floor. Each mechanism contains a custom-cut Swarovski optical lens and an LED bulb, the mechanism moves the LED light gently closer to the optical lens, due to focus and proximity the light cast on the floor ripples outwards like a raindrop. The floor resembling such a natural occurrence and the ceiling showing how technology has advanced, the partnership in this piece results in a brilliant piece of design.
