Cloud Plinth

Plinth Exhibition for Misc Objet

The basic function of a plinth, to raise an object to a comfortable viewing height, is a design challenge in itself. Like building a bridge, the simple task a plinth must perform is to defy gravity in a functional and novel way. The Ghost Plinth, made from discarded towels soaked in concrete, conjures a likeness to the classical fluted column in the folds that establish its structural integrity. Allowed to cure in stasis, this asymmetrical cantilevered design uses less material to make a plinth that is lighter and easy to move.
