"Trick Mat" was created by "AP WORKS," a group of young designers from the production company "Adbrain." They are a project team that develops "fresh and intriguing products."


The carpet, which looks like a dimpled floor, was created with the desire to make a boring office more impressive on a limited budget. The advertising effect was outstanding, and many people visited the office to see it. The "trick mat" also seems likely to transform a boring table into something more impressive. It would be a little exciting to visit a friend's house and have food served on this placemat.

However, your sense of distance may be distorted, so you need to be careful. For example, you might stab your finger when trying to reach for a knife. The dent is an optical illusion; the table isn't actually dented, and the knife may seem far away, but it's actually in its usual place.


It measures 360mm high and 455mm wide and is available in Arabian blue and off-white.
