The Design

About Illusion Mesa

La Ilusión es una mesa auxiliar que juega con la perspectiva. Al inclinar dos de las patas, la mesa permanece estable pero cambia completamente su apariencia. La mesa es una reflexión sobre cómo nuestra mente puede engañarnos y cómo todavía existen muchas posibilidades de diseñar productos que creemos inmutables.

Design Challenge
The biggest challenge was to reach the best proportions without affecting the stability of the table.
Research
Always applying the emotional design in her works Roberta Rampazzo created the table Illusion from simple and innovative lines. Based on studies of the table’s feet she got a playful result that surprises the viewer by its stability and its several angles. A reflection of how our mind is able to delude ourselves. Often we judge our point of view as unique, not realizing that even before just one object can exist infinite perspectives.
Inspiration
By applying her primary intuition as a pivotal element in her creative process, Roberta Rampazzo was able to design the Illusion table. A unique piece with elegant lines creating a multitude of optical illusions.
Project Duration
The project started in the end of 2012 and finished in the beginning of 2014 with the new version of the flat packaging table.
Operation Flow
The table has two parts, mirror top and the legs. Flat packaging.
