Using Gravity and Tension to Create an Unlikely Object

Came across this (uncredited) video demonstrating how gravity and tension can be wielded to create an unlikely object:

This reminded me a bit of designer Robby Cuthbert’s tensegrity-based furniture designs. Which in turn made me wonder: How long until a design student attempts to integrate this trick into a furniture design project?

By the bye, here are the best (untrue) comments from this Reddit thread explaining the phenomenon:

- “The camera is upside down”

- “It’s in Australia”

- “Magnets, bitch”

- “The fucking strings are haunted”
