This is seemingly an ordinary chair. Let's pretend that it's life-size for now. You try to sit down, but you sit on the armrest somehow. What???

Optical illusions are designed to fool the mind and leave you questioning reality. This is a classic example of an optical illusion featuring an extremely messed-up chair - from most angles. From one very specific angle, shown in the attached photo, the chair appears to look normal, and tricks the mind into thinking that the seat is facing right. 

As far as print instructions go, I have included a picture with an optimal orientation. I used 2 walls with honeycomb infill at 15% and used tree supports because normal supports are absurdly costly. Altogether I wound up using about 38g of filament. The model shown in the picture is printed in purple PLA. 

Please post a make and like the model! Thank you.

Update: I have added a slightly more squatted version of the chair to get the armrests to align better at the expense of some aligning in the leg bars. I prefer the original, so it is still available.
