Hot Desk by Boys and Girls - supported by giant Jenga blocks and permanent hot air balloons.

“A company called Twisted Image finally started production in February. Their job was to fabricate permanent hot air balloons strong enough to carry the weight of the desk. A new type of rubber composite was used to make balloons that were genuinely air-tight and would never degrade, and Caltech were called upon to supply a Heluim/Hydrogen hybrid gas with an atomic weight 150 times lighter than Helium alone.  Ribbons reinforced with Carbo-Titanium (and in pretty colours) were used to secure the table top to the balloons, tied off on an aerospace grade titanium cleat.

Finally, giant Jenga blocks were carved from solid wood and placed on the reinforced floor.”

The most beautiful stairs I have ever seen! Like floating thin whispy clouds. And this recessed handrail detail is absolutely perfect.
