A picture speaks a thousand words, but so does a shadow. At first glance, Yaara Derkel’s Coppelius chair doesn’t look like much. Sure, it has fancy cutouts on the rest and on the seat, but nothing too interesting or detailed that you’d actually consider it to be art.
But once you put the chair near a light source and check out the resulting shadow, you’ll see what makes it so… special.
They always said not to judge a book by its cover. In this case, don’t judge the chair by its, well, appearance. You might just be pleasantly surprised. Or scared.
