Gravity Stool, from Gravity series
This is a Gravity stool. It was designed by Jólan van der Wiel.
This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Jólan van der Wiel as part of Beauty—Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial.
Van der Wiel explores the impact of natural forces on physical materials. Van der Wiel developed and built his own gravity machine, a tool that uses oppositional forces of gravity and magnetism to generate organic, armored forms made from a composite material of iron filings and plastic or ceramic. With the machine, van der Wiel creates tables, stools, and fantastical architectural that sprout stalactites.
It is credited Courtesy of the designer.
