I’m interested if it looks as cool from other directions.

  I had that same thought. How many good viewing angles does this actually have?

  Nope. The floor looks flat but the store goes all warpy. (Kidding. I’ll probably never get to Paris.)

  Here’s the original on flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexkorting/3318197423/in/gallery-meg-72157623456948381/ the author says “Inside the Fnac at La Defense. While this looks good in photos, it’s not convincing in reality.”

I wonder why gravity seems greater where there are no items. This must be proof of Dark Matter.

You know, it reminds me of the organic architecture of Hundertwasser…Hell on furniture, fun to walk in.

Shame that in the US a store that did this would most likely loose the lawsuit when some idiot fell on their backside…

Here’s another shot of the floor, from a different angle, and you can see why it might not be as believable in person: http://www.moillusions.com/2011/09/illusion-carpet-in-the-game-store.html

Roads painted like this would slow down traffic in pedestrian dense areas.
