Bring a touch of magic and science to your spaces with this gravity-defying design project! The Levity Floating Table uses the principle of tensegrity to create the illusion of a suspended tabletop, offering a perfect blend of modern aesthetics and technical innovation.

How Does It Work?

The table's function is based on the physical principle of tensegrity, a technique that combines rigid and flexible elements to create a stable structure.

  • Rigid Elements: The upper and lower bases serve as platforms, balancing the weight and stabilizing the entire structure.
  • Flexible Elements: The tensioned cables keep the upper surface "floating." You can use:
    • Elastic Bands: A simple and effective solution for quick assembly.
    • Transparent Nylon Cables: For an even more striking and "invisible" effect.
    • Strong Cords: Ideal for larger and heavier versions.

The system evenly distributes weight, balancing tensile and compressive forces to create a stable and functional effect.

Technical Characteristics:

  • Print Time: Approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes with standard configurations.
  • Scalability: The design can be scaled to support heavier objects. Simply increase the dimensions and choose stronger materials for the cables or cords.
  • Simple Assembly: Simply attach the cables or elastic bands between the bases, ensuring even tension to maintain stability.

Why Choose the Levity Floating Table?

  • Versatility: Perfect as a decorative element or as a functional base for lightweight objects.
  • Customizable: Experiment with colors, materials, and sizes to match your style.
  • Easy to Print: Designed for quick completion, with support-free printing.
