About Illusion Table
The Illusion is a side table that plays around with perspective. By angling two of the legs, the table remains stable but it changes the look completely. The table is a reflection on how our mind can trick us and how there are still many possibilities of designing products that some we think are unchangeable.

The focus was to find the right proportions for the beauty and stability of the table.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
In this case it is an ongoing process, as this table was released at Maison & Objet Paris last year (also other main furniture fairs), and this award will further enhance its visibility on the market.
