I am developing a project called The chair that wasn't there, dealing with notions of furniture design and film/vision.
In this first example by Adelbert Ames (Jr?) We see something that looks like a chair, but only from one point of view. (image from Eye and Brain: The Psychology of seeing, by Richard Gregory, 1966)
There is also the possibility of looking within film for examples or inspiration for furniture. Here we see the outre furniture made by Liz Moore for Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange
