The Choice Machine

The Choice Machine is an interactive installation designed by Alan Macilwraith of JCA Architects and constructed by Bryan in Aubie Fitted Furniture for Design Pop 2019 which took place at Nano Nagle Place in Cork in May. The event saw 6 designers teaming up with 6 food producers to give life to 6 pop-up pavilions. The Choice Machine pavilion featured Finsa Fibracolour Black.

Quoting architect Alan Macilwraith, "the festival was a great success and The Choice Machine really got people thinking about sustainability, food choices, design and architecture. We had more than 350 people climb aboard and take part in our Choice Machine demonstrations over the weekend which Good Day Deli and I were really delighted with. The most common feedback I got over the weekend was about the quality of the finish and materials of the structure. I heard the word ‘slick’ a lot, which is totally credit to all those hands who got on board and made our idea real".
