Post 1

Before beginning my research on actual electromagnetism.  I wanted to see how, or if, magnets are being used in furniture. I came upon a few pieces that I wanted to share with you. First is a piece by the company RockPaperRobot. The table is called Float, and it is created by using magnetized wood. The wood pieces are then connected in place by very thin metal wires. The outcome is a very fascinating, yet functional, table. http://rockpaperrobot.com/




The other piece I found is by designer Angela Jansen. Her pair of Floating lamps combine LED and levitation technology from the company Crealev. http://www.floating-lamps.com/about-light-light/.
For more information on their levitation technology. http://www.crealev.com/



I am hoping to use these pieces as a start off point for my electromagnetism research. They are very inspirational and extremely innovative.
