Cables for comfort

The Verge.com reports on the San Francisco-based designer Robby Cuthbert, who creates architectural furniture made from wood and steel cables. The rows of cables in his chairs, lamps, and tables are precisely placed to maintain stability and strength through tension alone, similar to a suspension bridge.

None of the pieces use adhesives or fasteners to stay intact for a furniture-meets- sculpture effect. Cuthbert explains on his website that laser cutters and 3D printers are key to his work.
