NOT WHAT THEY SEEM

Any fan of Inspector Gadget and 007 James Bond will probably be drawn to these two pieces of furniture I have recently come across. Trickery, in the form of furniture, at it's best.

The first is the Shadow Chair by Duffy London. A chair that appears to sit on two legs that cast a black shadow on the floor. The black shadow is actually a sound steel frame cleverly designed to hide in the dark.

The second is the Softwood Sofa by Moroso. More deception here in the appearance of a mountain park bench but the following piece is actually a sofa. The sturdy wood frame of this sofa by Swedish design collective Front Studio supports cushions upholstered in a woodgrain photo-printed fabric.
