To find out, check out this “ordinary” bookshelf built by Italian designers Eva Alessandrini and Roberto Saporiti of the Italian furniture design firm Saporiti. Can you see if there is something out of ordinary going on? How long did it take before you were able to spot it? Still no luck? Then feel free to jump inside this article, and scroll until you see the solution!

How about if we remove all of the books and just leave the empty bookshelves? See the subtle message now? Hope you like it as much as I did!

Italian studio Saporiti has created an interesting alphabetical and numerical bookshelf casings, which allows customers to choose individual letters to spell short phrases, dates, or other.

Chances are slim that the optical illusion pattern he used to create this interesting piece of furniture simply appeared in his dreams. This isn’t the kind of design one just conjures up. So either (a) he was aware of Akiyoshi Kitaoka’s original Snake Illusion, or (b) he was following our website from day one. Either way, check the Hypnose Sofa Rafael designed. This would be a great piece of furniture for an optometrist’s waiting room.

If you “continue reading” this article (supposedly you are on the homepage), and jump inside thi article, you will see some small thumbnails below this first photo. Each thumbnail represents a photo from this art installation photo set. Now here is the cool part – by clicking each image, you will see this image in full size, but on its very own separate page! There you will be able to easily scroll to “next” and “previous” photo, till the end of the collection. Please test this for me, and report all your findings and errors you may experience. In the mean time I have updated all the video illusions, which may now be found inside this section. Additionally, I have started assigning categories to all my archived posts. This can be done very quickly in wordpress, so expect all posts to be categorized by the end of this week! I have few more ideas for the near future; like implementing pools, tests and all sort of goodies. Stay tuned! Now let’s explain today’s post which was submitted by Francois Buhagiar via email (thank you).

This year, the final-year students of Beckmans College of Design have created an art installation at the Stockholm furniture fair. The students have created a space where they wish to inspire informal gatherings of people, in the same way as you would meet spontaneously about town – sitting at the edge of a monument, on a front porch or a flight of stairs. The furniture in the showcase is based on an individual briefs, to create a specific type of furniture. In contrast to what is usually the case in the fair, where many prototypes are for view only, students have encouraged the visitors to interact with the furniture and the space. You can view this exhibit from different angles, by clicking on the gallery thumbnails below. Enjoy!
