Unreasonable Supports

A postmodern piece of furniture with an illogical support method. One end of a table is supported by a thick cylindrical column, while the other end has only a thin wire; a cabinet is supported by three geometric bodies of different sizes, positioned asymmetrically; a shelf protrudes from the wall with a minimal contact surface. They look like they could fall at any moment but are actually very stable. Avoid: using symmetrical and evenly distributed support structures, making the support into a logical four-legged structure, hiding supports to make the volume appear to float, using engineering-style trusses and diagonal braces.

一件支撐方式不合理的後現代家具。一張桌子的一端由一根粗大的圓柱撐著、另一端只有一根細鐵絲;一個櫃體靠三個大小不同的幾何體支撐,位置不對稱;一片層板從牆上以極小的接觸面挑出來。它們看起來隨時會倒但實際上很穩。避免:使用對稱平均的支撐結構、把支撐做成合理的四腳、隱藏支撐讓量體看起來浮起、使用工程感的桁架與斜撐。
