Appreciation towards Jólan van der Wiel for providing the following description:

Gravity Stool In dialogue with a natural phenomenon.

The Gravity Stool thanks its unique shape to the cooperation between magnetic fields and thepower of gravity.

Departing from the idea that everything is influenced by gravitation, a force that has a strongly shaping effect, I intended to manipulate this natural phenomenon by exploiting its own power: magnetism. The positioning of the magnetic fields in the machine, opposing eachother, has largely determined the final shape of the Gravity Stool. It is the combination of the magnetmachine with the plastic material, developed especially for this purpose, that enabled me to start a small but efficient chain of production. The forms and products are characterized by the freakish and organic shapes that are so typical of nature itself.

As a designer, I see future potential in the joined cooperative forces combining technology with natural phenomena. It is my belief that developing new  “tools” is an important means of inspiring and allowing new forms to take shape.

26岁的年轻艺术家Jólan van der Wiel制作了这一系列的重力凳。重力凳与自然对话，其独特的造型由磁力和重力共同作用而形成。

Jólan van der Wiel在一种液体物质里面混合了铁屑。这种液体可以在5分钟以内凝固。艺术家让这些液体在重力与磁力的相互牵引下发生变化，也就是用磁力进行操纵。在这一个过程当中，艺术家与自然之力亲密合作，最后得到有趣的，有机的，浑然天成的产品。为这个产品亲自开发了塑料物质。Jólan van der Wiel认为与自然相结合的技术在未来具有很大的发展潜力。这些将是一种新的“工具”。这是创造新形式的鼓舞人心的重要手段。最后，成品会依然被磁力吸引，因为其物体特性，含有铁这一事实不会改变。成品的最大重量可以调节到200公斤。
