Conceived as a piece of immersive architecture, the Caramel Rooms was inspired by the art of a pâtissier, creating intricate work from pulled caramel.  As part of our experiments we developed a spectrum of coloured caramels and bespoke tools to carefully pull and create form.

Through heating, melting, stirring and cooling, the sugar transforms from its particle form into a series of fragile golden structures with glass-like properties. Whilst cooling, they fracture and crack. Over time, the caramel disintegrates and becomes sticky due to its hydroscopic properties.
