PSA: My client in Denver asked for a 'floating' cabinet that actually floats
Last month, a guy named Mark wanted a kitchen island cabinet that didn't touch the floor at all, like a magic trick. He got real upset when I explained that even a floating design needs some kind of support structure (you know, physics and all). He showed me a picture from a movie set and said, 'But they did it there!' Has anyone else had to talk a client down from a purely Hollywood idea?

Man, I used to get those requests too until a friend's client wanted a glass staircase like @juliawalker mentioned. It really shows how movies mess with people's idea of what's possible.

My buddy had a client who wanted a completely clear glass staircase, no visible supports at all. He had to explain that people need to actually walk on it without falling through.

That client really thought glass is basically invisible magic or something. I once asked for a glass floor in my kitchen before realizing I'm clumsy enough to trip over my own feet on solid ground. You ever catch yourself pitching wild design ideas that sound great until physics reminds you who's boss?
