At the heart of MercadoLibre’s Bogotá offices, Latin America's largest online retailer, a suspended installation transforms a triple-height staircase into a sculptural experience. Inspired by Bogotá’s iconic phrase “2,600 meters closer to the stars” the artwork is composed of 2,600 handcrafted pieces that symbolize elevation and aspiration, grounding the global brand in local identity.
A HANDCRAFTED, HANGING INSTALLATION
Created by a Colombian artist, the installation forms an abstract spiral. It’s built from recycled glass, aluminum, and bronze-toned components and softly lit at the core. The result feels fluid and weightless—moving as people move through the space. The piece evokes the motion, energy, and optimism that define MercadoLibre’s presence in Colombia.
The internationally acclaimed CODAawards celebrate the projects that most successfully integrate commissioned art into interior, architectural, or public spaces.
