    "So Dauber serves guests burgers on the built-in grill only to get a perverse satisfaction when they puke it up later on."

    Hard to envision a more perfect candidate for Apple.

    I'm sure that this non-Euclidean setup looks much different in person, but I'm not sure what Mr. Dauber means when he says he "wanted someone to barf when they look at it." It doesn't seem particularly nauseating to me.

    The corner kills the full illusion, I will add some curved moulding in order to smooth the transition from wall to floor.

    Anyway

    Is the tree dead? Otherwise, it seems like it would grow wider and smash everything.

    I love optical illusions, so I think this is really cool. The practicality of it (and I know most arty things) is bad. What happens when that tree grows and messes up that beautiful tile work?
