"Magic Carp-pet" - Rug Design
Loading...
Uploaded by ClarkeHopkinsClarke on Dec 2, 2010
The magical rug literally animates!!
When the rug is viewed through the specially designed glass coffee table, an animation of carp appears through a moire effect providing a surprise element of natural liveliness to the interior. The graphic apparition, replacing the traditional fish tank, is also a nod to the decreasing abundance of our most precious natural resource - water. Mythologically, the carp symbolises bravery and fortune. Linguistically, the "carp" becomes a humorous extraction of the "carpet" that reveals this intriguing little conversational piece on the floor.
Designed by John Leung for ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects.

@lesson it dose work in real life each black stripe on the coffee table covers different parts of the fish the fish is made of different layers of lines and the table covers each section. I dose work logically but you are just not thing how it would work.
