Field: A Shelf That Gives the Illusion That Your Stuff is Floating

Ukrainian designer Dmitry Kozinenko explores the idea of implementing illusions into furniture design, as seen in his Field shelf which tricks the eye into thinking its contents are floating.

Field is constructed out of metal rods that are bent to create shelves to hold books, objects, and anything else you might want to display. From the front, the vertical rods appear straight, but when viewed from the side, you see all of the ledges.
