earthquake-proof table
A table designed by Arthur Brutter and Ido Bruno to withstand up to one ton of pressure from above and still maintain its shape. This is done by designing the geometries of the table such that the weight is even spread across the surface. The table is also light enough for two children to lift.
Brutter and Bruno aim to provide affordable protection to people living in earthquake-prone regions.
