Cobalt Muffin是设计事务所YokYok专门为上海愚园路设计的一个原创艺术装置，该项目于2019年完工，由CREATER委托设计。这也是YokYok在中国的第一个装置项目。Cobalt Muffin位于上海长宁区愚园路1107号，于2019年10月1日至2020年7月1日展出。

作为一条主轴线，愚园路贯穿了一个富有活力的城市街区，该街区致力于提高整个上海市的艺术审美和创造力，拥有着众多的商店、时装店、艺术画廊、办公室、餐厅和住宅等建筑空间。这种多样化的建筑类型将该街区打造为了一个均衡的活性空间。艺术装置共展出10个月，在此期间，这里将变成一个可以容纳各种公共活动的空间，各式各样的故事将在这里上演。

The Yuyuan road is the main axis of a dynamic area that promotes art and creation city-wide. This lively area counts numerous shops, fashion stores, art galleries, offices, restaurants and housing. This diverse typology makes it a well balanced and active neighboorhood. The lot is intended to host events as encounters, talks, and other kind of public invitations that can take place under the Cobalt Muffin during these 10 months exhibition.

Cobalt Muffin艺术装置在外观造型上仿佛悬浮在草坪上的一个不规则几何体。实际上，它由60个相似的三角形框架构成，在框架搭建好后，设计团队在其外侧覆上了一个由弹性绳制成的半透明表皮，打造出这个形式复杂而丰富的装置。

Cobalt Muffin acts as a geometric presence floating over the lawn. Its apparent complexity is actually made of 60 similar triangles, covered with a semitransparent skin made of elastic ropes.

巨大的几何体量如同云朵一样漂浮在参观者的头顶上，此时，体量感被模糊掉了，人们只会注意到它如风筝和灯笼般的轻盈感，于是它的存在也变得顺理成章。这个装置在几何图形和材料之间构建了一个丰富多彩的对话，人们可以360°全方位地欣赏它，从而重新思考艺术与建筑之间的界限。

The big volume, floating as a cloud over the visitors becomes light and immaterial. As a kite or a lantern, it levitates above the ground in a apparent lightweight. Inviting the people to observe it and walk around, it offers a bright and colorful dialog between geometry and materiality, rethinking the borders between art and architecture.
