Thin Tube Legs: Heavy Objects on Thin Supports

A set of Memphis furniture supported by thin tube legs. Beneath the heavy, colorful volumes are several thin metal tubes, only 1.5 cm in diameter, painted in a contrasting color to the volume; the number and position of the tube legs are asymmetrical, with three in some places and one in others. Because the legs are extremely thin, the volume above appears to be floating. The end of the tube leg may have a small sphere. Avoid: using thick support legs, making the number and position of the legs symmetrical, painting the legs the same color as the volume, using traditional wooden furniture legs.

一組以細管支撐的孟菲斯家具。厚重的彩色量體下方是幾根直徑只有一點五公分的金屬細管,漆成與量體對比的顏色;管腳的數量與位置不對稱,有些地方三根、有些地方一根。因為腳極細,上方的量體看起來像浮著。管腳的末端可能有一個小球。避免:使用粗厚的支撐腳、讓腳的數量與位置對稱、把腳漆成與量體相同的顏色、使用木質的傳統家具腿。
