The Magic Of Science Keeps This 450kg Desk From Falling Over

Looking for a desk that’s impervious to spills, dents and — apparently — the laws of gravity? Designer Paul Cocksedge seems to have defied everything we know about physics with his wonderful rolled steel Poise table, which looks like it’s perpetually ready to fall over.

But thanks to some wonderful design and engineering, enough of the table’s 450kg mass is located towards its base. Which means that not only can it easily support a computer and all the usual desktop accoutrements, you can even stand on one end without it even beginning to topple. Paul’s only making 10 of them though, so expect to pay dearly for his creation, and probably even more to have it shipped to your office. [Paul Cocksedge Studio via MoCo Loco]
