This fine collection of distorted furniture finds are just the ticket for taking a different approach to home furnishing. Furniture that is slanted or distorted is more often than not deemed unfit for use, but these pieces take those very unwanted flaws and turn them into marketable features.
Home decor is meant to be a little distorted because perfection is simply an illusion created to make the impossible seem possible. As such, these pieces highlight some pretty noticeable flaws to help encourage a more playful approach to decor that is distorted, inappropriate but effortlessly fabulous. While a slanted seat or coffee table might seem like a foolish choice to make, these distorted furniture finds might open your mind to using what others see as unfit as focal points.
