From most angles, this set of steps resembles any other staircase. But relocate to a specific spot in the room, and the stairway becomes enshrouded by its supporting beams.

This imaginative twist on perspectival anamorphosis was created by Milan-based design studio Storage Associati. Anamorphic illusions come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small enough tofit ona table, while others take upmultiple city blocks. This staircase falls somewhere in the middle, on a scale similar to that explored by anamorphic artist George Rousse.
