Marble Floating Furniture

Haymann Editions Created a Fashionable Floating Table

— December 16, 2013 — Art & Design
When you first hear about a floating table that is shaped like an inverted marble pyramid, you would probably be afraid of it falling on you. Luckily, the minds at Haymann Editions have designed an ingenious new piece of furniture that is truly a feat of physics and fashion.

Don't be afraid of this fab floating table crushing your toes, it was made to cheat gravity. The table is indeed made of stylish marble, but the way it's built keeps it afloat.

The inside of the floating table is actually hollow, which lightens the load a considerable amount. The marble pieces are put together by being mounted on a light foam. The assembled slabs of stone are then mounted onto a small, heavy square base that weighs the floating table down.
