Many of you must have tumbled over after sitting on a chair with
uneven legs. If yes, then the sight of this well sliced art piece may
make your brains go haywire. On top of it, there is this image of a guy
standing over this chair, yet this one legged beauty is standing tall.
No! The image hasn’t been done on Photoshop. Neither this is a
camera trick. This is real! There is just clever design and a little
science. The way both of these come together to generate this beautiful
piece of art is amazing. All this confusion will last only until you
aren’t aware of the real reason behind it.
Designer Peter Bristol,
lead product designer at Seattle-based product development consultancy
Carbon Design Group is the man behind this idea. The design involves
cantilever technique, that’s often used in bridges, building techniques
etc. Cantilever is a projecting structure, supported at one end and
carries a load at the other end or along its length. In Peter Bristol’s
own words:
A plate concealed by a thick carpet allows a robust cantilevered seat. Three well placed leg “stumps” and the chair looks as though it has just been magically sliced apart.
