Illusions | Felice Varini
Perspective, illusion and architecture. These are the elements of the work of the Swiss artist Felice Varini. He creates big, colorful, illusionary shapes by painting different surfaces in distinct levels, which, if seen from one unique perspective, suddenly converge into one image, a geometrical and well-defined shape.[via]

Trailer | "How to Sell a Banksy"
......................................................................................................
Banksy's work now reportedly changes hands for millions.
But he puts up his street art for free. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got your hands on one of these? Does it mean you've found a winning lottery ticket or just scraped some worthless crap off a wall?

'Affinity Chair' | Ben Alun-Jones
......................................................................................................
Born out of an attempt at the impossible, the Affinity chair explores our relationship with light and space. When alone, the chair merges into the background becoming almost invisible as it cloaks itself in its environment.
However when approached, the chair wakes, becoming transparent, revealing hidden depths and creating an almost infinite space beneath. As the sitter comes closer to the chair, the chair’s heart rate increases reminding us that even though it wants to escape, it is firmly and almost painfully stuck in front of us.

'Ripple effect tea table'
'Ripple effect tea table'
by Jeonghwa Seo and Hanna Chung.
How culture-specific ideas and mindsets could be translated into a physical design?
Ripple effect tea table is part of the Jeonghwa Seo’s degree project 'The geography of objects' at Eindhoven Academy in cooperation with Hanna Chung.
The tea table attempts to deliver an interface for analyzing the way of considering cultural differences in psychological level through the process of design and form. Business organizations need to be culturally sensitive when entering new markets or tossing out new products. On a similar note, we here want the design fraternity to consider cultural nuances and mentalities when designing in order to make design more poignant and meaningful.
There is a belief by Asian people that small changes in an individual's life can have an impact and have a certain effect to the whole community, which in a psychological term is called a "ripple effect".
Hailed as the “Ripple effect tea table,” the table blends Eastern ritual with the social relationships. Each time you place the cup on the table surface, the ripples can be seen speeding up on the surface of the body.
The process that takes place when the ripples are formed and slowly expands to disturb the whole water layer then becomes the visual symbolism of a deeper psychological understanding of what we are trying to articulate in the design of this tea table.
