The scale inside the Navate makes you reset your balance before you even realize you've done it. Fabro's suspended web pulls the whole volume taut—cables under tension anchored straight down into solid marble, holding that enormous dark air together like a pattern piece held by grainline pins. Standing under all that weight and wire, looking up until your neck aches, is a very strange sort of relief. It is entirely about structure and how much load an idea can bear without collapsing into theatrics.
