Curiosity meets narcissism with this keyhole-shaped mirror called Voyeur by Italian design studio BBMDS. The mirror creates a mysterious sense of illusion and depth and gives you the creepy feeling that you’re either watching something or being watched… by yourself… Photos courtesy of BBMDS.

Brazilian designer Roberta Rampazzo is back with a new table that plays around with perspective. The Illusion Side Table is the result of studying the feet of tables and working with the angles of the legs. By angling two of the legs, the table remains stable but it changes the look completely

Last weekend was the first ever “Design Milk Presents” event, Reinvention; Writing History Through Aluminum , featuring new works by Brad Ascalon and Frederick McSwain (AM) for Neal Feay Studio , an exhibition at Bobby Berk Home (it runs through May 27 th so you can still catch it!) The objects, made of solid aluminum (quite weighty!) came from an accidental meeting between Brad Ascalon and Santa Barbara-based Neal Feay Studio. Alex Rasmussen, third generation owner of Neal Feay, has been exploring new ways to push aluminum manufacturing to a whole new level. He’s recently partnered with artists and now, he’s pioneering Neal Feay’s first venture into modern product design. Turntable slatted tables with optical illusion Closeup of the underside of Turntable One of my favorite pieces is Achilles, a shoehorn. The AM team decided to design a shoehorn for the single reason they wanted to design a sexy shoehorn – named Achilles because their “Achilles heel” is that sometimes they like to design for the sake of making something beautiful.

The Walking Family is a set of console tables and small end tables designed by Alessandro Loschiavo. Although the overall design of the Walking Family Collection depicts simplicity, you can see the inspiration behind the name of the collection in the curves of the legs. The twisted angles created for each leg resembles a walking animal, such as a group of deer.
The tables within the Walking Family Collection are made in rosewood or mahogany. There are console tables and smaller tables that each have a rectangular top and the curved legs that create the walking illusion. Each table is made using a waste-free process that uses a single slab of wood with no wasted shavings.
Alessandro Loschiavo designed the Walking Family Tables for Maoli Italy.

Because yesterday we posted a chair (that looks like) it has one leg, it seemed only appropriate to showcase the Two Leg Table today! Designed by Shay Carmon and Ben Klinger, the Two Leg Table is made with an oak base that supports a Corian top.
The two legs are arranged in such a way, with an extended piece on each leg, that enable them to support each other while simultaneously supported the Corian table top. Using strong materials such as the oak and Corian were necessary in making the balance possible.
How about a seat at the Two Leg Table with the one-legged illusion of the Magica Chair?!
