'Bias of Thoughts' — Optical Illusion Bookshelf

From Neatorama: "How many shelves are there? Look to the left: four. Look to the right: three. The design is based on the illusion known as Impossible Fork or Blivet [below]."

Designer John Leung of ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects in Melbourne, Australia wrote, "Thoughts are biased. When ideas are passed from one person to another, due to the transfiguration of the communication process and the frame of mind of the receiver, they are always perceived with bias."

"Inspired by the famous 2D drawing of the optical illusive bookshelf,

a 3D structure is translated and the 'Bias of Thoughts' bookshelf is formed. It can be used for shelving books and iPads as well as hanging magazines."

"Visually, the optical illusion serves as a reminder that, whenever one picks up a medium, ideas can be misinterpreted when passed from one end to the other."
