You ’re staring through a fresh facility at London ’s V&A Museum , called Mise - en - abyme . The narrowing is n’t just perspective — those acrylic archways really are getting smaller .
Created by London designersMatteo FogaleandLaetitia de Allegrias part ofLondon Design Festival 2015 , the installation take inspiration from the expo around it . The pairexplains to Dezeen :
“ We see at the Renaissance elbow room downstairs and the glass way next doorway , and these were our start item . We find out that during the Renaissance , perspective line lottery was make .
“ Stained glass was used a lot during the Renaissance . We used acrylic as an option to glass because it has the same characteristics and beautiful color . ”
In fact those panels — for the most part transparent but also slenderly brooding — have irregular openings cut out , each of which is more or less small than the last . The tinting also varies , bit by bit becoming darker , adding to and stress the sensation of linear perspective . It ’s like a sci - fi version of something from Alice in Wonderland .
