Designer Op Art Cutting Boards

Wow, they really do have designer everything, don't they? These designer cutting boards by Ken Goodwin are inspired by 1960s Op Art, most specifically artist Bridget Riley. The dark and light squares are sized and placed to convey movement and shape on an otherwise flat surface. This design is called Expansion and is intended to look like a checkerboard viewed through a fisheye lens. There's also the Convergance (yes, that's how it's spelled) which came about as an experiment in doing the opposite and having the squares get smaller towards the center instead of larger.

Described as "not for the faint of heart," either of these boards would make a wonderful gift or unique addition to any kitchen. Maple and walnut, $350-$400.

Mirror Op-Art

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

A funky, fun piece of decor, Mirror Op-Art is a construction that uses dozens of differently sized circular mirrors that can be arranged in almost any way you see fit. All of the mirrors are clustered together, but each is attached to a white, movable wire and can be tilted and turned to catch the light in interesting ways. You can set up the piece in one location, leaving it to catch colors and light of the same thing every day, or change it frequently for a new perspective. You can also group more than one piece together (they are only 25" in diameter) for a larger, full-wall display. Price: $190.
