The 'Illusion Lens' has been designed by Vincent Leroy as a kaleidoscopic installation that sits high above the Tokyo cityscape on the Mori Tower to provide ethereal views of the surrounding area. The lens has a jewel-like design that bends light in a variety of ways to help give the city an artistic profile that's more tranquil when compared to the hustle and bustle below. The installation acts as an alternative way to view the city and the clouds during the day, while at night the lens will catch the surrounding lights for a magical touch.
The 'Illusion Lens' is also designed to rotate at a slow pace in order to constantly provide onlookers with a new viewpoint to admire.
