Magical Floating Coffee Tables

The Flying Carpet Coffee Table Takes Coffee to a Whole New World

— December 30, 2013 — Art & Design
Grab the gal or guy you trust the most and get ready to hop on a magical carpet ride with your flying carpet coffee table – note: please do not actually hop on your tabletop.

Designed to look like an actual floating carpet, this Aladdin-inspired coffee table features a pixelated Persian rug design and an all black base, giving the illusion that the coffee table is casting a shadow on the ground and therefore floating. In addition to the shadowy base, this magic carpet table is created with a wave-like surface enhancing the illusion of a magic carpet undulating in its stationary position.

It's just as well that this magic carpet coffee table isn't real; a real magic carpet would make for a terrible surface to rest your coffee on but perhaps I'm over thinking this.
