Take a look at this twisted figure that its creator Andreas Aronsson calls an impossible worm.  If you study the multi-colored shape in detail, you will notice that it is really just five interconnected impossible triangles (also known as a Penrose triangle).  On his blog, Andreas notes: I’m not sure why I like this one […]

If you take a look at this design from Andreas Aronsson, you will see that each link of the chain is connected in a perpendicular manner in a way that could not physically be possible.  According to Andreas: I had this one sit in my notebook for, I think, more than six months. It took […]

It has been a while since we featured one of Andreas Aronsson’s impossible figures.  Depending on how you look at this figure, the small (blue) square is either on top of or below the larger (red) square.This figure was made during a particularly hectic time in Andreas Aronsson’s life as he was living out of […]

If you tried to walk up or down these stairs to get to the top or the bottom, you would find yourself walking for a very long time. This is a variation of the Penrose Stairs created by Lionel and Roger Penrose in 1959. More of Andreas Aronsson’s impossible figures can be viewed on his […]

If you travel clockwise around this figure, you will find that you would go down for ever.  If you move in a counter-clockwise direction, then you would travel up forever.  The hoop, in the center, however, makes this object appear to be entirely flat. Andreas Aronsson has designed a number of perplexing impossible figures.  Visit […]
