Bench on balloons
This leather-covered bench by Japanese design studio h220430 appears to hang in mid-air with the help of strings of balloons on the sides.
But in fact, this is an optical illusion.The solution is very simple: the bench is suspended from the ceiling by thin metal rods, disguised as strings of balls. And the bright balls themselves skillfully disguise the place where they are suspended on the ceiling.
The design of the bench was inspired by the feeling of weightlessness and floating above the ground experienced by the hero of the old French film “Le Ballon Rouge” (1953).
