Tastes may vary but it looks like it's constructed pretty well. If there are grooves for the base and top of the wine bottle those turn buckles will hold it tightly in place. Not my thing, but nice upcycling design.
I tend to agree. It's DIY tensegrity, and not really offensive as such. I wouldn't buy it, but there's $55 worth of material and labor and creativity here.
How is it tensegrity with rigid bottles used as support?
Tensegrity, tensional integrity or floating compression is a structural principle based on a system of isolated components under compression inside a network of continuous tension.
The bottles are in compression, while the tensors are providing... You guessed it, tension.
Tensegrity usually means integrity from primarily tension, like cables used as the main struts for something. This just looks like it's bottles as a structural element with rods preventing them from coming apart
They could have glued the bottles then they don’t need the tension springs. Or if they prefer it to come apart, glue the bottom of the bottles and then run a bolt through the upper shelf down into the bottle opening below it.
The springs make me nervous.
Not springs, turnbuckles.
