Furniture description
Iron wire. What can be done with that? In my atelier I still had 500 meters in stock. I thought about a table shaped like a harp where the strings form the top of the table and putting your glass on the table would produce a nice sound. It seemed impossible. I constructed a strong frame, did the wiring and tried to make it look like a harp. Well, not only did it not look like a harp, it looked like a mess. I bought thinner wire and I tried again. Same problem. Then I used just a string of 50 meters. That worked. However, although putting a glass on it made it bounce there was no sound. Finally, after adding a layer of glass there was stability and some sound (but of a different type).
