Ken Spot

Potential for Collapse - August 2010

This is a nod to the design genius of Kenneth Snelson and his concept of Tensegrity -- "floating compression". Incidentally, this piece is our smallest table to date. When I was a bartender, a busboy -- named Kenneth -- who looked like he was twelve, got an extra $10 tip his first day because a generous customer thought he was a "cute kid". I nicknamed him Ken-spot.
