Project Description & Inspiration
Problem: Create a cello stand that displays the beauty of the instrument, provides protective support, and is elegant on its own.
My Design: Uses stainless steel pipe to allow for graceful curving and excellent structural integrity while occupying a modest visual space. The cello is cradled in a strong but highly flexible fabric sling that bears the weight of the cello evenly without creating pressure points that could cause damage. An opening in the center of the sling allows for the cello’s end pin to poke through and helps to center the instrument. The bow is hung from a hook, but only makes contact with a lightly elastic string, an echo of the main sling.
