GRAVITY FURNITURE SERIES

THE GRAVITY SERIES CONSISTS OF 2 LOW AND 2 HIGH SIDE TABLES AND A LONG COFFEE TABLE. THE TABLES EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SIMPLE FORMS AND POWERFUL FORCES, EACH RELYING ON ITS OWN WEIGH AND SHAPE TO ALLOW IT TO FUNCTION AND STAY UPRIGHT.

THE SIDE TABLES ARE EACH CUT FROM A SINGLE LOG OF CAMPHOR LAUREL TIMBER WHICH IS CONSIDERED A WEED IN AUSTRALIA. THE SOLID BLOCKS ARE FINISHED RAW AND SUSPENDED INTO STEEL FRAMES AND ARE HELD IN PLACE BY THEIR OWN WEIGHT.

THE BALANCE COFFEE TABLE RESTS ITS WEIGHT ON A CENTRAL SPINE SITTING FLUSH WITH THE FLOOR. THE MASS OF THE OBJECT IS HELD UPRIGHT BY ITS OWN WEIGHT AND A SIMPLE UNFIXED CROSS STRUT WHICH PREVENTS IT FROM TIPPING. THE WHOLE OBJECT IS CONSTRUCTED FROM SHEET PLYWOOD.
