Gravity Stools by a Dutch Designer
'Gravity stool' by dutch designer jólan van der wiel is on show as part of imm cologne 2012's [D³] talents programme. the project takes into consideration the laws of physics, departing from the idea that everything is influenced by gravitation. for the series, van der wiel manipulates this natural phenomenon which has a strong shaping effect, exploiting its own power: magnetism. the designer has developed the 'magnet machine', whereby he positions magnetic fields above and below a container of polarized material. in order to form and determine the shapes of his furniture pieces, the hanging units are pulled down and then released, in which the substance follows, drawn upwards by magnetic force, letting nature determine the shape of the stool. the material cures within half an hour.
