Illusionary Coffee Tables

Table Designs Taken to the Next Level

Inspired by Escher’s lithographs, designer Sebastiano Tosi created Mogg Illusioni, A table formed of cubes and graphical lines.

Besides designing, Sebastiano also works with 3D modelling and animation. “I prefer to work on product design,” he told us. “But to develop a real product, you should pass through 3D modelling. And I learned how to animate, so I could understand a product’s shape better.”
