Imeüble Shelves: 3D or not 3D?

Here’s a very interesting idea that could mess with one’s mind. Imeüble shelving system comes from designer Bjørn Jørund Blikstad and at the first glance it appears to be just another picture on the wall. Its creator says that the concept behind the idea works with your mind the way associating words with their meaning works. He says that when you read the word “cornfield,” you imagine a field full of corn, not the word “cornfield”. In this particular case, the shelving system looks 2D, but as you get closer you will see storing is possible so the logical thing is that it is actually 3D. On Freshome we treat optical illusions and mind games with a high amount of fascination, so we hope you enjoy this one as well.-via Yanko Design
