Sculpting the senses

Ivan Co presents the silent power of his kinetic sculptures with 'Synesthesia' exhibit
When it comes to visual splendor, trust that Ivan Co's works can deliver.
His kinetic sculptures, grounded in his expertise in metallurgy and jewelry-making, are made of wood, bent metal, and adorned with semiprecious stones. They not only look stunning in person but also move poetically—witnessing them in motion almost feels therapeutic. His works are one of a kind, they became part of “Strive for Perfection: The Official Platinum Jubilee Edition,” a coffee table book honoring the 70-year legacy of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
On Nov. 20, 2025, Ivan aimed to present his works with a more rounded experience for the senses. For one night only, he unveiled his “Synesthesia” exhibit at The Empress Dining Palace in Taguig City, an evening that merged movement, sound, and flavor.
