We've already talked about a couple of aspects (Nacho Carbonell and Studio Makkink & Bey) of the Droog exhibition in Milan, but there was a lot more. Anamorphosis by Luc d'Hanis & Sofie Lachaert was a fascinating display of ceramics and metal. Distorted images of birds are on the platters, but when reflected the image shows up perfectly on the shiny surface. Chris Kabel's hollow furniture is made of industrial packaging that has been cured after being filled with sand and autoclaved. Nadia Pedreschi's Obsession table emphasises the need for order, but Ivo Vos uses perfect alignment to make utensils disappear into the placemat. More after the jump.

I saw that distorted image/metal tube reflection technique years ago at a Dali exhibit in Italy. It was one of the most amazing things I ever saw. Anamorphosis is beautiful, but the idea is not original.
