Abstract
The function of this surface is to be aesthetically pleasing and to provide a stable space for common small items. Manufactured with carbon fiber, honeycomb, and wood core, this surface is to be lightweight but able to withstand moderate loads. Resistant to water and UV protected, the product can be used in everyday life. This product is a tensegrity table, which means the structure looks like it is floating in air. The design ensures that all the cables are in tension and able to keep the table upright and stable. The product is an eye-catching home décor piece, sparking intriguing conversations and awe.
