Wonky tables are now something to be embraced! I love the table that Nina Farsen has created as part of her Invalid Project.

Malfunction is usually avoided in design and art. A designed object should always be complete and perfectly well-engineered. Imperfection however is a spring of creativity. Deviations from the conventional, which are usually perceived as defective, often develop into something truly new and unknown.

The Table that has been created is missing two legs, and should inevitably topple over, but it doesn’t. Why not? The missing legs are compensated by weights held by nearly invisible thin strings which act as a counter-balance. It’s a clever idea, and a surprisingly beautiful object.
