I have great friends. Today another one pointed me into the direction of this optical illusion, camouflaged as bookselves.

I couldn’f find the designer unfortunately, but I really like how he made the cat and bird shapes out of the same material, creating not only shelves, but chairs and toys as well. Perfect for the childrens room!
EDIT: thanks to our reader, Erin, now we know that the designer was the mexican NEL.

Hi Alice,
I love reading your blog and I thought that you might be interested in knowing that NEL (a mexican design collective) made this and they have also made a lot more.
Their website is http://www.nel.com.mx/ or you can read more about them on a post I made on my blog at:

I hope this helps!

[...] Poor Polar Bears It hasn’t been long since we featured the mexican NEL team and their Fill In The Cat furniture, but it’s time again to write about them, since besides the octopus, the polar bear is our favourite animal. [...]
