Ikea didn’t make this amazing instrument; but they should have.

The wonderful ‘Marble Machine’ is an elaborate hand-cranked wooden machine that uses 2,000 marbles striking drum pads, a bass guitar, a vibraphone, and other elements to produce music. Created by Martin Molin of the band Wintergatan, the elaborate assembly required is easy to imagine as an Ikea-style instruction manual. Quoted as saying “the closer the machine gets to be finished the harder it gets to finish it”, Molin and his team have finally completed the project more than a year since it started. Nothing to do with Ikea I hear you bray. OK, check out this branded content piece that Ikea produced in conjunction with UK Hip Hop artist Harry Love, decking his studio out from top to bottom.
