Product information "Michael Wedig: Object 'balangrav'"
'How can that be? Shouldn't it fall down?" cries reason. 'No,' replies the BALANGRAV and rests in itself. A beam that, although it is only supported at a single point outside its centre, still lies horizontally? Physically impossible, actually. Unless you allow yourself to play with gravity. Michael Wedig took up the challenge and combined proven engineering expertise with unconstrained creativity in the realisation of the BALANGRAV. No electronics, no batteries. All that counts with the BALANGRAV is mechanical understanding and an appreciation of precise manual labour. Once triggered, it swings up and down with its long end and takes enough time to come to rest again. Beam and prism made of highly polished stainless steel. Base made of polished and oiled walnut wood and artificial stone. Size 5.5 x 24 x 7 cm (H/W/D). Weight approx. 1.2 kg. Delivery includes polishing cloth.
