Crooked Chair

36 comments

Our visitor Rona submitted this. If you take a second, and look at the chair picture, you will understand what she ment: "I was looking on google for chairs for my project, and found this. The chair looks like you're looking at it from the front (which you are) but if you look closer, it also looks as if it's from the back! And that it's a bit crooked. It's not photoshopped. Cause I don't have photoshop... I know it's a bit plain, but I like it! I always go on your site! 'Cause I have your Google gadget on my google personalized home, of which I go on everyday..and I check your illusions! Amazing stuff. I like the one with the water drops and the background...Well, you don't need to know about that. I hope you like my illusion!" - I do like it Rona, and thanks for your submission. We had some chair illusions in the past, check stereograms section for chair stereogram, magic chair illusion, and one not so similar, but really famous - Scheibe effect.

    Kinda dumb. But I could see how someone could look at it the other way -- but no more than endless other objects that you can easily tell the correct perspective with a second glance.

    Where's it's last leg? To me it looks like a 3 legged chair. I have to say, it's pretty obvious that the illustion is made with the shadows and nothing more.

    I could see the chair from the back and front but it is actually the front that is showing in the picture. The reason it looks like you are seeing it from the back is because you are seeing the reflection.

    This picture is actually taken from front, not from back. Look at the shadow/reflection. It won't appear like that if you look from back. This is indeed taken from front side.

    i got it a missing leg

    The chair is not crooked. The 4th leg is hidden behind the opposing leg.The angle the photo was taken at and the way the light hits causes the shadow to almost line up with the actual back posts. If you cross your eyes a bit or do the magic eye blur look at it the illusion appears and dissapears, it's a pretty o.k find but indeed it is just a chair.

    I love this!....The shadow reflection of the back (BARS) of the chair give it the effect that makes you able to look at it and see it from the front and the back!...love it!..*WINKS*

    slightly odd but pretty goo, even taking the legs (some are curved) into consideration

    stupid and lame, makes no sense

    Vincent Van Gogh did something like that in his "potato eaters". if you look at the chair in the bottom left corner you will get (almost) the same effect. try googling "van gogh" or "Potato eaters" (or boath).
