The Float Table is a structure that embodies the culmination of science and modern design aesthetics. Its precise matrix of 'magnitized' wooden cubes exhibit a 'levitating' effect.
This effect, caused by what looks like mutually 'repelling' cubes, is actually brought about by a network of carefully positioned steel cables within the structure. These cables are responsible for supporting the structure as well as allowing it to be 'malleable' to the human touch.
While the Float Table looks rigid and sturdy on the surface, a slight push or opposing force will reveal it's dynamism as it 'deforms' and gets back into shape almost immediately.
