Who Says A Desk Needs 4 Legs?
Alexandre Boucher believes you only need one. A tabletop is carefully balanced on one large offset pillar. This minimalistic approach creates a sense of openness above and below the table, as if it were levitating.

Counterweights aren’t anything special. Think forklifts. Even if that column weighed 1000 lbs, the table would tip over the minute some jackass decided to sit on the end of it.

that one pillar needs to be very very heavy if you ask me…
I don’t think it’s designed for sitting on, but you do want it to resist pushing off while standing up, which creates a force of 20kg minimum.
But it looks lovely and ou don’t have to carry it around anywhere, so just place it and Enjoy!

Not suitable for a heavy stuff to put on it. Maybe it can be coffee table.

Great design and idea. But again, the base would have to be very heavy. As well, the table top would have to be very stiff, and along with that the added weight of such materials to prevent flex.
