Has this chair somehow defied the laws of gravity? In the picture above, you’ll notice there is someone standing on it, supported by a single leg. How is this even possible?
Artist Peter Bristol created “Cut Chair.” He’s the lead designer at the Seattle-based product development consultancy Carbon Design Group, well-known for its design of products for Microsoft and many others.
So far, “Cut Chair” is in the prototype stage, but Bristol is looking for a partner to build it for multiple installations or mass production.
How does it work? See if you can guess before you dive into the gallery below, where the secret will be revealed.
