More about this product

Stainless steel wire ropes and wire rope nets such as Webnet by Jakob Rope Systems are ideal materials for art installations. Walkable nets, minimal supporting structures made of steel ropes or complex rope statics for tensegrity and membranes: the impressive technical possibilities of stainless steel ropes offer manifold unexplored ways of expression.

Jakob Rope Systems has been working with artists for decades. The collaborations push them to explore their own technical possibilities and redefine the potentials of ropes and cables. The experience gained in this way enriches their daily work and flows into the development process.

Jakob Rope Systems welcomes creative ideas on how to use cables and cable nets in new ways. Wire rope structures offer artists a lot of potential to play with statics and tensile forces. Hanging or suspended structures, walkable nets or transparent support structures for art installations are just some of the possibilities. Successfully realized projects by Jakob Rope Systems with renowned artists can be seen in Paris, Düsseldorf, Salzburg or Fort Worth, among others. Well-known and groundbreaking projects include:
