Gravity defying home furnishings can help free up many needed square meters in homes. Whether they are suspended or hanging using wood, metal or magnets, these hovering home accessories give the illusion of floating on air. This space-saving furniture and home accessory pieces technically aren’t defying gravity as they still need a little help getting and staying up, but they make us feel like we are on top of the world.
Implications - Which is all we're trying to do. Many of the gravity defying furnishings in this collection are strong examples of what happens when pragmatism meets novelty in home decor.
